Hit the microphone to make google say it.
Just like how you would pronounce Ling Xiayou's name, chinese X is pronounce as a soft SH. I usually just call him Byakko, since that is who he is moddled after, as well as the others being Seiryu and Suzaku. Niuzao being the only real odd ball, as he shoulda been a turtle but there was already the giant turtle.
Su-enn
Chineses translations are quite stranges, sometimes "X" has to be pronounced like an S and sometimes it has to be pronounced like "Sh"
Despite the game itself pronouncing it "Gzuenn"

sure....
You're trying to make sense of a fantasy.... first problem. Second is trying to enforce a real world idea into a fantasy as a justification for why the real world idea has to be right.It doesn't matter that the Pandaren language is not Chinese. The name 'Xuen' is so obviously influenced by the Chinese language that it only makes sense to use its rules as a basis for pronouncing it.
I pronounce it shu-en.
But do it however you want. There is an incredibly pretentious "guide" in the WW monk guide on how to pronounce it...but its just one persons opinion on the assumption that it should be pronounced according to a linguistic form they attribute it to. But do what you want. Until someone can produce me a real life talking panda to tell me how its done "properly" its a fictional language, you can assume its based on a real world one, but thats your assumption, does not have to make it mine.

dont trust voice actors....GW2 was a prime example. quay......you pronounce it key, like everyone on the sodding planet does, apart from the voice actor they hired....really really bugs me.

For me it always was "Who-en" . Can't really be bothered to pronounced it differently .
I come across a quiet river, that wonders through the trees.
I stare into its running waters and fall unto my knees.
In resignation to the forest, that's held me for so long.
I close my eyes and drift away into nature's evensong.
I pronounce it as Sue-en.

Xuen is a piece of cake in terms of pronunciation difficulty anyways.
How do you pronounce Y'Shaarj?
Zoo-en. Always how I pronounced it, thought Emperor Shao-Hao pronounced it that way too.
