So… how does one pronounce ˈʝiros?


As a non-native speaker the whole article confused me. In Germany 'gyros' has a 'g' as in 'going'. How do the greek say it?

ʝ is the voiced counterpart of ç (the ch in "ich"), so you might be able to get pretty close by pronouncing it "Chiros" but buzzing your voice box during the initial consonant.
