I thought that Taijitu, being a Japanese/Chinese thing would be pronouced 'Tie - chi -too'.

So did I...only I thought there would be more stress on the second syllable...'Tie-GEE-too'.

maybe it's a regional thing; to put so much stress on the second syllable... -shrug-

Well, if you really want to pronounce it correctly, listen up...

The vowels are indeed more or less "ie" "ee" "oo". But the consonants?

T: Aspirated Alveolar Plosive; that's just plain old T

J: Alveo-palatal affricate. No true English equivalent, but we can approximate best as English's J

And the second T, same as the first...

And the tonals... those burn my brain too  :P
