How do you pronounce Dijkstra?
Dike-Stra
dyke-stra
Di-ch-stra

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

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 isn't really a prononciation in english for the dutch 'ij'

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
