It can, but there are two different dialect pronunciations:

1) neither with the EI pronounced as a long I (NY-thur)

2) neither with the EI pronounced as a long E (NEE-thur)

Some use both pronunciations, the one used decided by its part of speech:

e.g. neither (nee) before nouns as an adjective, neither (ny) as a pronoun.

* The same two opposing pronunciations may be used for the word either.
