There are two ways to pronounce shamatha. 'shamatha' which is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word, and 'samatha' which is a transliteration of the Pali word. Pali and Sanskrit are quite similar so people get confused between the two sometimes. Generally, you will hear a Theravadin teacher pronounce it 'samatha' and a Tibetan Buddhist 'shamatha'. -Owen
