Interesting, I had a friend say "janruh" (soft j) all day yesterday and I thought "that isn't right, is it? It can't be!". I'm glad I'm actually right, haha.

But the word I DO get confused about is "timbre". Bloody French borrow words!

It's Tam Brea(d) with dropped 'D' tuning (so to speak)

If anyone says aluminium, we'll be here for days.... Confused

I always pronounce it "TIM-BERRRRRRR!!!!

"I pronounce it Al-you-min-ium

'Cause there's an 'i' next to the 'u' and 'm',

Now write it down slowly

And read it out fast"

~ Born on a Horse ~ Biffy Clyro

Now let's try 'solder'

What?

Does the word come from Frenchland, or did we(/they) put the weird J there just for the hell of it?

It is where the French people live.

So, England is where the Engs live.
Following this logic, I wonder how is called the land of the Irish: Irishland? And for German people: Germanland???

I did, case dismissed

BTW the malky is a Glasgow expression denoting the infliction of grievous bodily harm on your person.
No-one knows where it came from or can guess its derivation Ermm

zhon-ruh, or more appropriately: zhän-rə

That first sound (zh) is like the middle of the word "measure" (meh-zhur).

I'm pronouncing it this way too. But what do I know? My own language spells it as žanr.

On an unrelated note, when I was 10 years old, I thought Firestone (American tyre company) was Italian and I was pronouncing it as such.

Percussion, sir!
