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.
I'm with you. Sissy boy's pronunciation only makes me more apt to use the Americanized version, with hard G's.
No, Owl_Eagle's pronunciation is the one true and correct pronunciation. He is a graduate of L'Universite Coulottes Fancee in Bern and is quite brilliant. When my daughter needed help in her third grade Aristotlean Pangyrrhic Dialectics class, Owl coaxed her through some rough reading and assignments and spurred her on to earning a solid B+ that others had trouble simply passing.
At Tufts, Owl majored in Classical Dental History and wrote a thesis entitled "Jinjis Khan: Man of Destiny and Bleeding Gums" in which he proved that the pain suffered by the otherwise pacifist Mongol due to his gum condition led to his episodic fits of aggression that led him to concquer much of the known world.
If any one on FR knows the proper pronunciation of Khan's name, it is certainly Owl_Eagle, Ph.D.
