I have been shocked to hear it pronounced as ink-veer-ee, or in-queer-ee.

I always thought it is pronounced as ink-why-u-ree or ink-wire-ee.

Ink-were-ee though it's much more fluid and the middle syllable is pronounced like "we were at the park"

Perhaps you and I should take a little trip down inquiry lane.

Ink-worry or in-quar-ee, where "quar" is pronounced like the "quar" in "quarter".

Ihn-Kwire-Ree, I think?

Also, I know my phonics spellings aren’t perfect, but I’m 210% sure that your suggested ones are more wrong.

Weird.

Weird.
Ink-wary
In-core-ey (like the core of a reactor or computer)
In-queer-ee (to be queerey inside)

Opposite of encode.

If so: in-kwer-ee

Assuming this is basically the same as saying the word inquire and adding a y (or ee sound), then this. It does seem to be a minority pronunciation, but a substantial one though. It just sounds better to my ears.

I say it the same as Speaker Pelosi does and did in her speech announcing the inquiry.
