The company I work for is looking to use Jami to communicate with customers that have difficulty speaking. For marketing purposes, can anyone shed any light on the correct pronunciation for Jami? Various videos that i found on YouTube pronounced it differently.
If you go to the FAQ in the documentation, you’ll find a link to the relevant Wiktionary page, which includes a widget to speak the word. As an English speaker I would write the sound as “ja-mee”.
The most common pronunciation for “Jami” is “ja-mee” (like “Jamie”), with emphasis on the first syllable. This aligns with how it’s pronounced in English and matches the Swahili word “jamii,” meaning community.
