Been wondering about this for a little while - how exactly is "Janus" pronounced?
Dsch-ay-nus or Ya-nus?

Yeah, I feel kinda silly, but I had to get this outta my system!

[Lothar The Lion]

In phonetic transcription it would look something like this: ['janus]

I think it equals your suggestion of Ya-nus.

[rankispanki]

Indeed it is something like Ya-nus. The Ya is pronounced like the beginning of "yawn" and nus is like easy enough, its just "us" with a n at the beginning.

[Florian]

the "us" in Janus sounds more like the us in "thus" or Usbekistan.
Or spanish "usted" (if thats usefull for anyone *G*)

Ich bevorzuge, es auszusprechen, wie man es schreibt.

[BlackRain]

I saw a competition of people who can eat most in 12 minutes or so. and there was a man, named himself "eater x" and his last name was "Janus", and in america they seem to pronounce it like it is written here in the first two posts...
