Sometimes you will watch a video and the person making it will go on a tangent about how "weird" a spelling vs pronunciation of a thing is and you just have to sit there and

Oh so I pronounce it correctly then🤣 I think it's differs from where you come from, like the mongolian way to say it is the 100% correct way but people not from there don't pronounce it that way cause they're not mongolian. In my country everyone I've heard say his name it's with a J not a hard G. Also it's spelt Djingis Khan in my language (D is silent, but it means it's more of a harsh J rather than a soft one) which actually surprised me, did not know that until now lmao cause it's a name not a word and shouldn't be spelt differently depending on language but...idk launguage is a complicated and confusing thing😭
Oh, I’ve never heard about the DJingis one. Honestly I’m kind of shocked. I liketo pronounce it with a J like a harsh J. I hate it when people pronounce it like… maybe this won’t make sense BUT like how you pronounce grape… I don’t know how to explain this. English is not my language, but just like how you pronounce the G of a grape a lot of white people pronounce Genghis Khan’s name like that.  it should be pronounced like the G of a genie. I don’t know if it made sense with the best way. I could explain with my limited English skills.
