All Slavic languages pronounce 'J' as 'Y'.I think that English and Spanish('hapon'???) don't pronounce Japan with a 'y'.I have a problem with some names I like the English pronounciaton but hate the 'y' one,like Joshua.I would love to give this name to my son,but noone would pronounce it with a 'y' where I live(Croatia).
