I kept pronouncing Castlian as cas-til-ian

Depends on the context.
If I’m suppressing my accent:
Alalean:
/æ.lə.'leɪ.ən/
That’s like a-luh-LEY-en.
When speaking quickly, I lengthen the first vowel and completely skip the second syllable. I tend to do that when both consonants are the same. Not sure if that’s dialectal or not.
Vistarian:
/vɪs.'tɑ.ɹi.ən/
That’s like vis-TA-ri-uhn.
Probably similar to most people here.
Castlian:
/'kæs.lɪ.ən/
That’s like KAS-li-uhn.
Yeah, naturally I don’t pronounce the t in that word. It’s the same for any stC clusters, even when the last consonant is r, but in that case it sounds more like “shr” but not quite. Wiktionary has the actual sound here.
It’s not actually as nightmarish as it looks, but I’m not trying to start a lecture here.
Normal way of speaking.
When I’m not suppressing my accent (which would be all the time since I don’t have any real life friends that play World of Magic):
Alalean:
/a.la.'le.(j)an/
If you speak Mexican Spanish then you can probably do it.
Vistarian:
/vis.'ta.Éľi.(j)an/
Same as above.
Also the “r” sound changes.
Castlian:
/'kas.ti.lan/ or /kas.'ti.li.an/
This one is ridiculously hard to pronounce normally because of the cluster.

Vis-tar-ree-an

No matter what. The universal way of saying Castlian is Ca-stil-ee-an.
I even spell it Castilian
No one knows why or how
It is just like this.

It’s because Castlian sounds smoother and more natural as “Cast-ill-ean”,or how you put it as. Instead of saying “Cast-lee-an”.
So our brains “auto-correct” it so that it’s easier to pronounce.
