Shlama akhay,
Pronunciation varies with dialect, as well as if one is even a native speaker of the language. The ayin itself is difficult to truly pronounce correctly, anyway
So Messiah could have likely heard all manner of pronunciation during His time on earth, and been fine with it, just as He hears all manner of pronunciation now, while in Heaven.
Yeshua
Yeshu
Eshua
Eshu
Esho
Etc
I have a hard time believing it was even remotely pronounced correctly by the Roman populace, yet He spoke with all and never is recorded as correcting their pronunciation.
I think even Paul Younan once said on here that he would go with Yeshua since Eshu is more Eastern, anyway.
