  • This is my name and it is pronounced stoy-yihn.
    I'm not sure if that's understandable. Basically, the soundstoyfollowed by the soundinbut instead of in, put a y in front of it to createyin'.
    It's somewhat weird, because I'm not sure which syllable gets the stress. Oddly enough, I think both syllables get stress maybe. This may be probable because it's a foreign language. If it's only one syllable that get's the stress, then I think it's the first one.
    Thanks! I hope to see the pronunciation for my name on here. :)
