    Something like....

    Deeth Gooyl De-wee Sant

    With a few pointers:

    "th" is a soft "th", as in "the" NOT "thursday".

    Some people would say Gwill instead of Gooyl.

    "De" in Dewi would be pronounced like a sharp "e", as in "end", not the kind of "e" you find in "they".

    Some people make the "S" in Sant sound more like a "Z".
