To be fair, it's based off Mongolian, so it goes on its own pronunciation guide.

Which admittedly doesn't mean much in light of English's tendency to confiscate all the vocabulary it can from other languages, with or without their "proper" pronunciations.

I'm still slightly puzzled by the correct way to pronounce "Yanxia", because depending on where you are in China, even the basic Mandarin pronunciation can be different. It's either "Yan-sia" (Southern China) or "Yan-sha" (Northern China), or, if you want to be stereotypical, "Yan-tsee-YAAAH" or "Yan-sharrrrr".

And then there's the in between that's like "Yang-shwa" but very fast so it's disguised to sound like half of them. Been going with that so far and I think that's sort've how the NPC's say it.
