How do you pronounc khafre?

Answer 1

Ancient Egyptian has many consonant sounds that do not exist in English.

The name we pronounce today as Khafre was written as Ḫˁj=f Rˁ in hieroglyphs, using several of those difficult sounds and it includes no vowels.

The first consonant,sometimes written as an H with a curve below, is a throaty, emphatic kh. The second consonant is a catch in the throat, followed by an f. Then is the name of the god we call Re, written with an R and a glottal stop. English speakers find most of these sounds impossible to say correctly - and we can not know what vowels the Egyptians included in the name because they were not written.

So Egyptologists generally say something like "kaf-ray" - but this is definitely not how the name was pronounced originally.
