I also posted this on my tumblr, but I thought I'd put it here too, to cover all the bases. I’m only going to list the ones people have asked about— hopefully I didn’t miss any!
Characters
Tris: TRIH-ss (As opposed to “treece” or “tryce,” both of which I’ve heard.)
Tobias: Tuh-BYE-us
Uriah: Yer-EYE-uh
Jeanine: Juh-NEEN
Factions
Divergent: Die-ver-jen-t
Abnegation: Ab-neg-ay-shun
Amity: Am-it-ee
Candor: Can-der
Dauntless: Dawn-t-less
And the big one:
Erudite: Air-yoo-dyte
There you have it.

Haha same! Only I mention Divergent as dee-ver-jen-t as the English dictionary says so. And HOW CAN I MISTAKE MENTIONING Tobias?
Thanks Veronica!
Well thanks for posting this! I've only been pronouncing 2 of these wrong, I've been pronouncing Tobias Toe-bee-us and Erudite Ear-yoo-dyte hahaha oupss
I keep saying "ab-eg-na-tion" but that's cause I have an almost-dyslexic habit of moving letters in the middle of long words. :(
Looks like I've been pronouncing Erudite wrong this whole time. Oops. At least I got all the others right!

Me too!! oops :)
So all this time, I was reading the wrong way...I thought Tobias as toh-bee-as..and Candor as Can-door.
Thanks for this..:)
my friend and have had many a fight about the Erudite Pronunciation - you just saved a friendship :).

Oops! Me too. I'm so set on "Toe-bee-us". I don't know if I'll be able to change that one. LOL.
I think I'm the only one who's been saying Jeanine's name wrong... Hahaha. "Jee-ah-neen" Other than that is Candor, "Can-door". Darn.
I failed. Jeanine: Jean-eene (lol)
Tobias: Toe-bee-us (I knew it was toe-bye-us, but idk hehe)
Candor: Can-door
Otherwise right! :D
I only got Tobias name and Erudite wrong....man, it's gonna take me a while to change how I pronounce his name! lol
i'm so used to it, that's what it is in my head hehe
like most plp it was Toe-bee-us to me :( oops

hilarious. me too!! XD i'm glad for this guide!! xD gotta get used to Tobias being tuh-BYE-us. lol.
and Erudite..i pronounced air-roo-dite. now i know it's air-YOO-dite. like the letter 'u'. i got it now haha
I've got them all right! The only one I wasn't sure about was Erudite, but now I can be sure, finally. Thanks!

Same here!
I've been saying some of the factions wrong for so long, theres just no going back now, it doesn't sound right to pronounce them the right way!
I got them all except for erudite. I was close but not quite right. I was kind of surprised at the number of people that got candor wrong, but I grew up going to the farmers market in a town by the same name. lol
wow so close on erudite but i guess ive been saying that one wrong! at least i got all the others :D
I had wrong pronunciations in my head =)) (Tobias, Uriah, Candor, and Erudite) Thanks, this was a big help. But I do think you need to speed up in writing book 3 because Insurgent is SUCH a cliffhanger -__- :) God Bless, Ms. Roth!
Candor: Can-door
Tobias: Toe-bee-us
Uriah: You-ree-uh
