  It really makes no difference. Saying it slowly makes the myth sound like muth. I have heard it pronounced both ways, but, then again, you guys would know more than I do.

  There's almost no vowel between the m and the th.
  
  So my approximation would be DART-mth.
  
  the "uh" in "muth" or the "y" in "myth" sort of sound like a schwa sound.
  
  ...haha after I wrote that I checked Dictionary.com for the pronunciation guide and it IS a schwa. Yay.

  To make things more difficult, a person who goes to Dartmouth is a "Dartmothian," pronounced dart-MOW-the-un.
  
  That's along the lines of the names used for residents of some of the English cities that end in -mouth (Plymouth, Exmouth: Plymothian, Exmothian) and generally similar to the transformation given to other schools' names (Harvard, Princeton, Brown: Harvardian, Princetonian, Brunonian).
  
  Those who go to Yale are usually called Yalies, though they have a latin-based term, Yalensian. (If that rule were followed elsewhere, Dartmothians would be Dartmuthensians...)
