Aeratus, good find! They say it again around 0:35 and it does sound like tai yung (with unaspirated T). Can you think of any characters that might fit here? (I know a little Chinese, but not enough.)

Here is a list of the word 太陽 (t'ai yang "sun"; the one I'm advocating) in a bunch of other Chinese languages; Gan, Hakka, and Min all match up with this word pretty well, though I'm not sure how the tones work in those languages:

Unfortunately the word doesn't match up well in Wu, which is what people speak around Shanghai (and in this game it's easy to imagine the Chinese government forcing people to use Mandarin more). I wonder if a Chinese-Canadian developer, perhaps from Taiwan, might have just said it in their native Hakka and the rest of the team went with it.
