Although both could seemingly be correct.

Jen I am not saying I am 100%, this is just a discussion so that we can get as close to correct as possible. Seems like we have mixed sources all over the internet giving us different opinions on pronunciation, so it may be a difficult task.

Here is a link to Torani's official page where they say - Say what!? It's pronounced OHR-ZHAT (but you already knew that).

Jen, where did you get your source for Martin's take? Are you sure there was no soft T?
