Well, in Chile, it's pronounced "Chee-lay"A lot of newsreaders in North America are learning how to pronounce country names the way they should be pronounced.
Most of the time they get "Pahk-i-stahn" and "Af-gahn-i-stahn" etc. correct now. But I still hear the "Bush" versions of "Eye-ran" and "Eye-rack" all the time, even though Obama knows the right pronunciations.
