Is that 'LAH' as in 'loss' or as in 'lay'? I've always always always pronounced it 'lay'. And I AM the Lana authority. Jk, jk. But, seriously. I could be wrong. But I don't think so.
I don't really understand what you're asking, but it's 'LAH' as in 'LAH'. According to the list, it's "LAH-nah", not "LAW-nuh" or "LAY-nuh".

For 3 months, I've been trying to get into the habit of 'My-uh' and 'Me-uh'.

Now, I speak almost no Russian, so I could very well be wrong, but "Olga" is "Ольга," not "Олья," correct? I'm pretty sure that "Ольга" transliterates almost exactly into "Olga." A character in a Russian opera I have a recording of is named Olga, and I've heard it pronounced "Ольга," not "Олья."
And don't say that the singers just had bad accents; they were native speakers.
Moving on, I also pronounce Ema with a long "e" instead of a short one. My sister uses a short "e," though.
Also, Ben's last name is Woodman, not Woodward.
And I'm pretty sure "Furio" is pronounced "FOO-ree-yo," not "FYOO-ree-yo."
And from what little Spanish I remember, I am certain that "Diego" is pronounced "DYAY-goh," not "dee-AY-goh."
Finally, Machi's name is heavily open to interpretation, considering that there is no information on what older languages the Borginian (Borginese?) language stemmed from. There's also the matter of transliteration. I've often heard foreign names mispronounced because of bad transliterations. I've always treated is as a Slavic language, so I pronounce his name "MAH-chee toh-BAH-yeh." Still, as the language is a mystery, there is no perfect way to pronounce his name unless Capcom gives us a pronunciation.
I'll always love you, Max.

Klavier is GERMAN, so it's kla-feer.
Machi is debateable
And yes, it's My-uh.

On a related note, the only official pronunciation of Mia is "Me-yuh".

It's pronounced MAKI. Like his Japanese name. Like the Italian pronunciation.

I don't care if you want to pronounce it Maki, but that statement's wrong.
"CHI" is generally pronounced "CHI", but such is the nature of the English language that adding letters changes the pronunciation. A "CH" with a vowels before and after it changes the pronunciation; you have to think of it as "ACHI", not as "CHI". "ACHI" would normally be pronounced "AW-shee" or "AH-shee". Phonetically, his name is "MAW-shee".

Sahw and Saw would be pronounced the exact same way.

Even so, "saw" and "sahw" are not pronounced the same way. The h alters the sound of the preceeding a; the w does nothing. "Sahw" would be pronounced something like "sah-wuh". The w sound is there no matter how you split up the syllables.

I feel like pronouncing "Ema" as "Emma", but since there's only one "m", should it be pronounced more like Eema(/E-ma)?

Олья transliterates into Olya, while Ольга transliterates into Olga. So yes, you were correct.

I've always pronounced Lamiroir as Lah-mir-wahr. It seemed like the prettiest way to say it. xD
Oh! Also, in Arabic, Maya is pronounced "Ma-yuh". The "Ma" is like the ma in "man". Some people pronounce it very heavily, like "Mah-yuh", but I pronounce the Ma lighter. Again, only because I'm Arab. =P
I pronounce Ema like you would Emma. I always thought they were pretty much the same name, just spelled differently. I think Ema looks cooler anyways. =P
