The Classical Latin pronunciation would be muh-KEEN-eye. Short a, ch has a k sound, the i has an ee sound, and the ae diphthong has a long i sound. Accent is on the second syllable.

This is a Latin word, when used by English speakers, the ch should sound like a 'k' and it should rhyme with 'free'. (because ae and oe both sound like 'ee')

depends on what language it is
in English it would easily be mistaken for Machine so people would say that
in Japanese it would be
Mu-a- Chi- a-e
A like in Father
E like in Set
U like recuperate
I like machine
Ch like Church
