Thank Eru the pronunciation of
Elessar has been established beyond any doubt!
But I must, I must, I must clarify Varda's Wilwarin's comment:
Quote:
I believe nationality plays a part in one's pronounciation dont you? While it is true that what Tolkien says goes, we still have the english saying eg. al-you-min-e-um and the americans saying a-LOOM-inum.

The reason the English pronounce it al-you-min-e-um is because they spell it 'alumin
ium'. The American spelling is 'aluminum'. Thus the different pronunciation.
