In Camp Lazlo the Indian elephant's name is Raj, and they pronounce it like it looks, ryhming with collage or garage.

My friend Raj pronounces his name like the end of the word garage, but his grandmother pronounces it Ray.

Say Roger and then take off the "er". So it is Rog, or Raj.

Like the "zs" in Zsa Zsa Gabor.
It's softer than the "g" in Roger.

R is R
'a' is actually pronounced as 'aa' as when you would say 'ra' in round.
j is pronounced as in jug.
So it is pronounced as Raaj.

why are you asking this so much?
i would say it like rajsh. it's really hard to explain, it's like a letter that doesn't exist in the english language.

I BELIEVE IT'S PRONOUNCED RA SHUH. THE WORD MEANS THE RULE. AS RAJAH MEANS RULER THIS MEANS RULE.
