Listen here for the Flemish pronunciation of Jaak:https://youtu.be/3ZByHMcsM9E (in Dutch; this bearer is Flemish and the name is said at 0:00)
https://youtu.be/9Exn1nJo7ws (in Dutch; this bearer is Flemish and the name is said at 0:10 and 0:13 and 0:43 and 0:58)Converted to IPA, it should be: /'ja:k/ for the first clip, and /'ʒa:k/ for the second clip (with the French J-). [noted -ed]In the local dialect of the city of Antwerp, the name is pronounced more like /'ʒɒːk/, as is indicated here:https://www.vlaamswoordenboek.be/definities/33996 (in Dutch; "De uitspraak in Antwerpen is met de Franse J van Jean, en aa is oa zoals in oardig (aardig). Dus ongeveer zjoak.")
