Came here to say this. The Codes are completely silent on pronunciation, they regulate only the written forms of names. So there is no “official”, “standard” or “correct” pronunciation of scientific names. The correct pronunciation is whatever is understood by you and the people you are speaking with. This will depend greatly on your (and their) language background, dialect, accent, and just personal preferences.
