I have absolutly no accent at all. I was born in Georgia and when I was aa year old I moved to New York and then when I was five I moved back. No basically NO accent.
I pronounce it Ah-lee-sea-ah but I dunno if I'm right.
And I've always wondered, how do you pronounce Jamia's name? Ja-me-uh or Jay-me-uh

There is no such thing as having no accent x) You have the American Accent.
I've always said Jay-me-ya
or Jomya if I'm sleepy and embracing my Arab-ness
