    Ah-ne-queena perhaps?
    Though if the vvardenfell pronunciations continue, it'd be more like
    Uh-n-qwine-a

    They did say it a few times in the reveal vids for Elsweyr.

    "An-eh-quin-ah", with the stress on the second syllable "eh", IIRC.

    But, this is not how I have been pronouncing it for the last ten years and more. And, we all know how bad Americans are at pronouncing foreign place names ;)

    So, sitting in my own little world here, I'm going to stick with...

    "An-eh-kee-nuh" with the emphasis on the "kee"

    I believe it’s An-eh-kwih-nuh officially.
    That’s how the kitty lady said it in the intro quest to Elsweyr on the pts.
    My brain always says An-eh-kee-nuh tho.

    But... it IS pronounced key. Americans changed the spelling, hence "Key West" etc.

    I pronounce it as 'ah neh kee nah', no idea if it's correct or not, I just like the way it sounds.

    If you consider that Anequina is an Imperialisation of the original Ta'agra name, Ne'Quin-al, the pronunciation is easier to identify:

    ah - NE - quin - ah

    .....why don't we just call places by their native names?

    Seriously its like Mount Tahoma here in Washington, but then some white dude comes and calls it Rainier.

    If "an-eh-quin-ah" is the official pronunciation, then that's how it is.

    Though I'm partial to "ahn-uh-KEE-nuh" myself.

    It turns out from those new lorebooks in the PTS (and now in-game) that it could actually have been renamed after a certain queen and moon priest of the Ne'Quin-al pride, called Anequina Sharp-Tongue! I wonder what she did to have been worthy of such an honor, or if it was her involvement in the story of those books.
