Video Content (transcription):
We are looking at how to pronounce the name of the founder and first Great Khan and Emperor of the Mongol Empire. What is the correct pronunciation of his name? You often hear either Genguis Khan or Genguis Kahn, which one is correct. There is a great video explaining it all in detail made by someone specialized in Mongol History which I’ll link to at the end of the video if you want to learn more, but the short story is that the pronunciation that is closer to the original Mongol pronunciation is Genghis Khan, later in History, the pronunciation Genghis Khan has been adopted and became prevalent in the English language. This is why both pronunciations are correct. If you want to sound a little closer to the original pronunciation of the name, the way people around Genghis would have called him, say Genghis Khan, but it is fine in English to say Genghis Khan. Here is the video I was talking about if you want to learn more and have 5 minutes to dig further, and more videos from me about how to pronounce names from History whose pronunciations are always necessarily obvious. See you there to learn more…
