According to the PMC dictionary of East Anglian dialect English, we pronounce Amiga as Ah-mee-gah.

I don't recall ever having heard it pronounced any other way...  Unlike Commodore:

Cohm-mod-door (American)
Com-mad-dore (British)

Ahhh mi gah is not an english pronunciation



Depends on where you come from, not every English dialect is phonetically identical...

Tell you what, why doesn't someone type "Amiga" into "Say" to find out how your Amiga pronounces it's own name?
