How do you pronounce. . .
Pohranicni Straze?
Also, what sound is made by the letter that kind of looks like a backwards B? Thank you!

Pohra Nitzi Strazeh
not sure about the backwards B, as far as I know, Czech doesn't have this letter, German does, and I just read a week ago that they are simplifying the language and this letter will be gone from words but will remain in names. I believe it the equivilant of SS

A lot of people say it incorrectly and many more pronounce the dogs name incorrectly. (i.e. Titus. Really pronounced as T-Tus) or (i.e. Bady is really pronounced as Buddy)

The German eszett sounds like "ss" (and when I took German they were in the process of transitioning some of them to "ss" but I don't remember the rule) but it's not a backwards "B" it's ß, more like a regular B with a tail. Like "Straße" = shtrah-seh

First "i" is a short i and the accent above the second i denotes that it is a long "i"--more of a "ee" sound. "Z" with an accent is more of an "s".... "A" without accent is a softer "uh" sound.... "A" with accent is a longer "a" sound. So it would probably be more Pohruh Nitzee Straseh (closest I can get to pheonetically  )I don't speak Czech, but it is very similar to Bosnian...which my husband is, so I've had pronounciation drilled into me! lol. If you only knew how much tongue placement means in getting your different variety of "c's" right! (OK...that doesn't sound too good!).
