they say "haesoos" for Jesus
_____________________________
Many parts of the Europe say so .. perhaps thats why Jesus has become Yesu prabhuvu in India and Joshua has become Yehova

This is nothing comapared to the situation one of my friends was in while we were are Copenhagen, Denmark ..
In Danish, Leading R is silent and J becomes Y .... my friends namez RAJU .. people were calling him "Aayu!" and this guy thought they were rude to him by calling him "Hey You!" :))
and by the way they called me "Bhadwey!" (For Bhardwaj) which happens to be horribly filthy word in urdu

VOA in their news calling Panjab as PUNJAB. I think it was the west who changed the majority of pronounciations into a confusion state due to US English rather than UK english.
I heared somewhere back one of the news reader from DD reading so " eluru " instead of "aeluru".
The confusion remains within our language itself like the difference betwen Yogi and Jogi.
Is it Yogi & Jogi both are same by pronounciation?????
Why because telugu has translated all the words in UK that are starting with J into Y.
Ex: Jordan
