I found this snippet in a travel diary on the web at -
www.solsearch.US/diary-page-29.htm
"the Portuguese sailor Fernao de Magalhaes (pronounced "Ma-ga-yeahnce, not the Americanized version, Ma-jell-en)"
I don't know if it's correct, however.

"Lh" is pronounced in portuguese like the spanish "ll" or the italian "gl". the final "s" is pronounced like the english "sh" in the word shop.
