Why Slavic names look spikier than they sound

  • J is a ‘y’ — Joško → YOHSH-koh.
  • Ć and Č are both a ‘ch’ to American ears — Modrić → MOH-drihch.
  • Š is ‘sh’, Ž is ‘zh’, C is ‘ts’ — the little accents are the whole pronunciation key.
  • Consonant clusters are real — Gvardiol starts gv-, but we ease in: gvar-DEE-ohl.
