The closest sound in english to the dutch 'ij' is something like 'ai' (as you hear in ice), although that isn't quite correct, but it's the best I can come up with atm. So it'd be D[ai]kstra.

I had this same question when learning Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. Witcher 3 Geralt pronounces Dijkstra incorrectly, so I was called out.

Jeekstra, because I am retarded

Dike - stra

dɛi̯kstra

>>60478287
As a Dutch person I can confirm this

Only thing I would add is that the r in stra is pronounced slightly different in Dutch than in English.

There is, the i in dike or like is pretty much the same.

The r is different though, Americans pronounce the r in the front of their mouth while Dutch people pronounce it from the back of their troath, hard to explain

>>
>>60479084
Dijkstra is not flemish though, it's Dutch
