Well, if you look at the way it's spelt (spelled), you would see it as "Tear-ee-an."
Tirian. It would only be the way you say it if it was spelt like "Trinian."

 

[Tsukiko]

yea that is wut i thought how it was pronounced.

 

[rosymole]

I would go for Tee-ree-ann, or maybe Tee-rian

it all depends on your home accent I suppose...

yEAH thats true i dont think theres a right or wrong way, just whatever way suits you best
I pronounce mine teer-ean

 

[Malacandra]

I'd make the vowel sounds and stresses exactly the same as in "Miriam", and just adjust the consonants a little. That's how I hear it in my head, anyway. Short i as in "pip".

 

[Queen Swanwhite]

I pronounce it Tir - ee - an

 

[Tsukiko]

yes that is how i pronounce it now also...Tear-E-In

 

[Tirian of Narnia]

It's Tir-ee-in.

 

[Tsukiko]

It's Tir-ee-in.

yes i know but i see it as....Tear-E-In

 

[Saruman]

Tee-ree-ahn is how I'd pronounce it, giving it an Elvish/Spanish pronunciation.

 

[Tirian of Narnia]

Why? My sister can't say Tir for some reason so she just says tear-ee-in. Maybe that's the reason.

i think here is australia most of us would say tirian like miriam, with a short 'i', like 'tih-ree-uhn'
