There's an "ia" immediately following the "t", and an "i" in front of that. While you can have hard pronunciations like in "Tatia" (tah-tee-yah), when you add the "i" in front of the "tia", you're more than likely going to have a "sha" sound in American English, such as in the word "militia" (mih-lish-ah).
