Gay-oh-ler.
Canon can insist otherwise all it wants, but canon is wrong.

I knew gaol was an old English word for jail but never looked up its pronunciation until today. It's actually pronounced jail. Jailer is the dictionary pronunciation for gaoler!
So now I'm working on retraining my brain to think jailer instead gay-o-ler and feeling vaguely betrayed by the English language

Gaol is just a fancy way to spell jail from ye' olden days. It's hard to accept for me, but das how it is.

I pronounce it [jail-er] because "Gaol" is just another word for "Jail" and it's pronounced exactly the same.
Plus, the Gaolers are literal gaolers/jailers.
