How do you pronounce it?

The pronunciation of Haïti is /a.i.ti/. It has three syllables.

The name Haïti comes from the indigenous Taíno word 'Ayiti', which means 'land of high mountains'.
In French-speaking Haiti, the national language is often créole haïtien, which differs significantly from standard French in grammar and vocabulary.
The spelling Haïti uses a diaeresis (the two dots over the 'i') specifically to tell French speakers not to blend the 'a' and 'i' into a single sound like 'eye', but to treat them as two distinct syllables.
