I've always pronounced it like this:
Dol-joni ji-arni morinar
[dol-Jon-ee-jee-Arn-ee-Mor-in-arr]
Is there a language which would pronounce "jiarni" as YARN-EE instead of "jee-Arn-ee"?

Actually a ton of languages would.
Eastern Europe, the baltics, some romance langauges.
But more importantly, the Nordic languages and German do, which is clearly the source of the names in Velious
There are tons of names that have Bj, Fj, Sj, etc, indicating that these are probably Js being used as vowels, which is usually an EE sound or a Y
So mobs like Fjokar Frozenshard, I pronounce Fee yoker.
