Asia
US: Char le main. The pornounciation I usually use is the semi-French one: Char le monya.
Bodee sotva
Aja = Asia
Charlemagne = Shar-la-main
Bodhisattva = Bode-ee-sot-va
Aja sounds like Asia but with the “j” sound replacing the “s” sound of Asia
You can listen toit here.
Charlemagne is “char-la-main”
You can listen to it here.
Bodhisattva I’m not sure but in the video, it sounds like “bod-his-sat-va” with the “sat” & the “va“sounding like a short “a”
You can listen to it here
Thanks, guys!
We’re all on the same page here.
I heard someone on YouTube here Aja pronounce Eyshey as in Hey Hey
That mispronunciation(?) made me think of how there’s a difference in pronouncing Charlemagne in English and French (and I was curious as to how you would say it (that is, if you would read it)).
Bodhisattva just looked like a tongue twister :-)
Charmain
Asia
No idea about the third one.
