A lot of fantasy authors (including the aforementioned Jordan) will have a glossary with a pronunciation guide. That doesn't always stop me from pronouncing it the wrong way in my head anyway.
Karen Moning has pronunciation guide for Gaelic words in her Irish-set urban fantasy series. I was very grateful for that!
