In english, it's mostly 'soon', like the joke, but with a very delicate, 'eh' trailing e vowel - it's hard to describe in text. The 'soon' syllable is strong, but there is a very soft tail to it.
Like my name - the first 'a' is almost silent, but not quite - if you take effort to deliberately pronounce that first 'a', then you're doing it too hard, so it should come off as mostly "Nigh-Ra", but there is a delicate 'a' that's just barely there, leading into, or attached to, the second syllable. Sune's trailing 'e' is similar, but in her case, you can pronounce it as strongly or as softly as you like and still be considered correct (and indeed, I should be clear, Black Elk is right in that generally, the most common pronunciations strengthen that 'e' sound rather than reducing it - and while all variants that include the trailing vowel in some form are considered correct, the realms page for her recommends this stronger pronunciation)
