You should pronounce it "Jehovah" for best effect. ---- |

Java is pronounced the same as the word java meaning coffee, with a harsh "jah" sound and not a soft "yah" sound as you asked. Gillius |

Maybe because java is a sort of coffee beans. And you know the thing about coders and caffeine. You don't deserve my sig. |

One of our lecturers always pronounces it yahvah, and everytime he says that (which is quite frequent) I run mad. Gnarr. _______________________________ |

You are all stuck on your own prejudices, and the bad habit of Anglicising. I had 2 Latin teachers who couldn't agree how to pronounce 'ego' How do you say Jugoslavia? How do you say Javier? (or Xavier, X-Man fans) Java is an island in Indonesia (Dutch East Indies) where the coffee comes from. It was probably Cloggies who spelled the name Java and so by my reckoning 'yah vah' is probably correct, and 'djah vah' is how Anglos mis-say it. |

I'm the last one to anglicise. My mother tongue is German and I had 6 years Latin in school. There are lots of words being mis-pronounced by Anglos (I'm especially thinking about the Greek alphabet), nonetheless I believe Java has to be pronounced 'djah vah'. _______________________________ |

In czech we pronounce it as in English [djahva] (I don't know somebody who pronounces it in czech like [yava]). [My website][CppReference][Pixelate][Allegators worldwide][Who's online] |

Maybe that's what you are made to THINK, nonnus29! Might be a secret identity. I don't know this James Gosling lady... _______________________________ |

PRONUNCIATION!!! We all call it Java at work, and since we're the best Java coders out there, our whims are law. -- |

Yes, I've heard stories about a guy, alone coder who wrote an isometric 3d, massively multiplayer online rpg with an indepth skill system, huge map, seemless installation and updates via the web, and runs as an applet or an application. All on his own, and it was called runescape. Do you know this guy BP? The guy who origionally wrote runescape can officially claim the title of 'super coder!!!!11' |

and she probably calls it djahvah so that'll do.
