Not to be overly pedantic, but it's spelled (and pronounced) Jen-jis Khan.
 
I should know, I went to a fancy pants Swiss Boarding School.

I am looking at some CHINGGIS KHAN Mongolian Vodka right now. When I was there, they were just rediscovering their history and everthing was named Chinggis Kahn.

Great people, would like to visit them again sometime.

It's pronounced "Ghengis" here.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but to pronounce it the common way isn't wrong either.

The fact that Kerry pronounces it the sissy European way tells me a lot about him.

God bless Genghis Khan. It was his hoards which stopped Arab imperialistic expansion and caused a severe crisis of confidence among the Muslims.

About a third of his commanders were Christians. (Nestorians I believe.) If the Organized Christians (Catholics and Orthodox) weren't such jackasses they would have welcomed the Christian Mongols and put an end to the evil that is Islam.

I'm with you. Sissy boy's pronunciation only makes me more apt to use the Americanized version, with hard G's.

"They nearly obliterated Islam, "

I can't stand it when people don't finish their jobs and leave it for someone else to do.
