How do you correctly pronounce in English the hindi boy name 'Raj'?
RAH-gh. like "rage" in garage.
Reply:The 'a' is like an 'ah' sound. The 'j' is a little harder b/c the sound is hard to spell out in English. Have you ever heard of the woman Cza Cza Gabore. The 'j' in Raj sounds like the sound you use when you say Cza...you hear the sound moreso in the French language...the closest thing I can think of in English is garage.
Reply:My friend Raj pronounces his name like the end of the word garage, but his grandmother pronounces it Ray.
Reply:raj ...split it into 2 .ra as in ran and j as in judge
Reply:R-ah-g..with a hard g sound.
Reply:Well it depends on your ungerstanding of other English words but it is like saying "Large" or "Garage" (both pronounced the same in English not American) you say "Raj"





Hope that helps.
Reply:The j is kinda like a zsh sound in it. and the a is long .
Reply:english pronounce the name as rag as they cannot say it as a muslim but a muslim would pronounce the name as raasch as the "J" is not as hard
