There is no hard and fast rule for pronounciation of any English words. Pronounciation also varies regionally, so not only do you just have to know how to pronounce each word, you just have to know how to pronounce it in each part of the world in which you find yourself.

For example, the U in jaguar is pronounced like a long U in the UK whereas it is pronounced like a W in North America.
