suh-sill-uh

There's no ia at the end of the word, so there wouldn't be an ee-uh in the phonetics.

I don't really pronounce it since I read it in my mind, but I would probably pronounce it suh-sill-ah

Well, he is a Chiss, so he'd know best. I guess we should all pronounce it sil-a now.

The person who it is named after pronounces her name "Chee-la". It's Hungarian for "star."

I found this uproariously funny.

as the official namesake of the home planet as well as the capital city, i can tell you with complete assurance that csilla is pronounced "chee-lah." csaplar is "chop-lar"... the cs is a "ch" sound (hence why it would be suitable as the name of the home planet for the chiss.) (thanks pabs )

Heh, I laughed, when I read the word Csilla. It's a name as well, and maybe it is in all languages, but I am Hungarian, and in the hungarian language we write it 'Csilla' too))
