In the current spanish dub we also say "sigh-yan". In the manga we probably pronounce it the same way, but it's written with an -o at the end there.
...What about Saiyajin? Both words that form that one word are japanese, not english. Saiyan is just a short version for it, shouldn't it be pronounced similarly? Edited by Darker, Feb 14 2017, 08:07 AM.

If I want to say "Say-yan", I'm gonna say "Say-yan". What a nerve you have to call a certain way to say a word the "right way". |

I just say "say-yan" because that's how I've always heard it. Obviously "sigh-yan" is the right way, and "sigh-uh-jen" is the even more correct way, but I hardly ever say it, so it's not like it matters much to me. |

Aid, Raisin, Paint, Waist. I'd say that for English speakers, Say-an is more natural. However, if 'Saiyan' is pronounced the Japanese way (which if it's a Japanese word, it probably should be), then it should be pronounced 'Sigh-yan'. But similar to Pokemon (which should be pronounced Poh-keh-mon), it sounds weird to pronounce it a different way, even if that is the correct way, so I'll always just say it the way I've always said it. |

I like the idea that Saiyans with different dialects would pronounce it differently. Anyone else? |

No. Why would Saiyans have differently dialects? |

Well I don't know, I would figure since Saiyans are shipped all over the galaxy as babies and just on missions to go to other parts of the Galaxy, I figured at some point they might pick something up. f*** me for thinking at somepoint their pronunciations change lol.

But why would they change the pronunciation of a word that is obviously supposed to be pronounced "sigh-yan?" lol |

I go pretty weeb when it comes to Dragonball, but, even I pronounce it "say-yin". I can't really get myself to say it like "cyan" or "cya-jihn" |

There are plenty of cases in our own world of english words that change pronunciation the further you get. Look at the differences in pronunciation of the same words from both Americans and Australians. It's not impossible that being entire solar systems away wouldn't change pronunciation just a tad. |
