I can think of two pronunciations (British and US) which differ in the vowel of the first syllable: /eɪ/ as in fate and /æ/ as in fat. Stress on the first syllable. Whether the r belongs at the end of the first syllable or the beginning of the second one is another question.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
