The way to pronounce Safalra are shown below using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). You will need a font containing IPA characters for the display to be correct. Some versions of Internet Explorer have problems displaying IPA characters, even when an appropriate font is installed (other browsers, such as Mozilla, don’t have this problem). Many websites explain the sounds of the IPA, but the best explanations are found in the Handbook Of The International Phonetic Association:

‘Safalra’ is usually pronounced /səˈfælˌɹə/, with the primary stress on the second syllable, and secondary stress on the third syllable. There is an audio file (in wav format) or me saying ‘Safalra’.
The other pronunciation that I don’t particularly mind is /səˈfɛlˌl‿ɹə/, where the ‘l’ blends into the following ‘r’, and the central vowel is slightly more close.
