How to pronounce Jargon?

[Helladelinquent]

Was on a phone call recently with someone and the phrase ‘legal jargon’ came up. I pronounced it jar-gon and he pronounced it yar-gon.
I was certain about my pronunciation but as I will probably end up on a call with him again and the phrase might come up again I’m wondering if I’m right??

Is he British? I've never heard it pronounced yargon!

I think that you’re correct.

Jar-gon is how I’d pronounce it as well! I’ve never heard it any other way

Just look it up and press the speaker symbol.

You’re correct!

He sounds like a pretentious twat

Jar! Definitely!

Yargon 😂

I miss the laughing reaction

Jar as in jam jar.

I wonder whether he’s never actually heard it pronounced before, though that does seem unlikely. Not like my Dbro at maybe 6, who’d come out with gems he’d only ever seen in print, ‘I know it was you, so you needn’t denny it!’ 😂

Jargon as you pronounce it op.
phone call guy is a nob

Did he do it more than once? No obvious speech impediment?
I’m pretty sure my manager Jürgen pronounces ‘jargon’ with a J not a Y sound though it might be a little softened with his German accent.

Jar-gon definitely. never heard it pronounced any other way

Sounds like an "AI" thing. There are shed loads of YouTube "videos" now appearing which are basically an "AI" voice reading out a story they have cobbled together from various places.

Is he a native English speaker?

All involved in the call are Irish. I was just wondering because he’s better educated than I am and he repeated it several times.

I'm Irish too and definitely Jar-gon 😂

His education seems to have failed him on this point.

Is he a pirate?

🤣

Oh dear. Did he say yourself or myself when he meant you or me as well?

You win the Internet today! 😂😂

Oh thank goodness. From the title I was worried this was going to belong in the baby names section!

It sounds like his pronounciation is a little closer to the original French pronunciation but in the UK I have only ever heard jar-gon too.

Maybe he was yust yoking

That’s brilliant.
