I've heard so many pronunciations, and they're all hard to say, so which one is the correct way to say it? I'd go off of what Don Corleone says, but I don't feel like watching the Godfather again just to see how he pronounces it lol.

Four syllables,the "g" is silent. con-sil-yare-eh. When you say it,accent the third syllable and roll the "r" a little.

It's not that the "g" is silent. It's that in italian, the "gl" together make a "y" sounding like in the word "yes". cone seel yeah reh. "O" is long O. "I" sounds like a long E. Roll the r. Accent third syllable.

You should write a book on Sicilian pronunciation. I'll buy it.
