@iTwineOG

If you read the katakana its says "djiburi" so in Japanese the pronounce it with the J

@Octy_in_Boots

I personally am on teams gif and jibli.

@brownsugardown5462

I’m going to start pronouncing it with a Q just to fuck with people

@VerseOW

just wanna point out for team jif 
graphics interchange format, not jraphics

@mohamedfrahat363

Libyan here 
Pronounciation in libyan is more like 
"Gibli" with a g sound like "gas"
Q is the correct way to pronounce it if you read it in standard arabic where ق is akin to Q but in libyan it's closer to the g sound

@Stevem

It was an accident but Miyazaki says that he wanted it to be jiburi sound wise

@RorikH

It being named after a plane is absolutely perfect. Miyazaki knows what he is about.

@MatthieuStepec

Miyazaki said that he made a mistake, not knowing that the Italian word is pronounced with a hard G at the time. But by now the word "Jibli" is really well established in Japanese, so like you I pronounce it this way.

@StompingApollo

The chaotic third option of over annunciating the H so it doesn't matter either way

@MBZ901

now we just need to see Shadow and Sonic arguing over this

@FlannelManiac

I avoid the "gif vs jif" conversation by literally saying "G-I-F"

@MBZ901

technically, the correct pronounciation(s) will end up being the ones widely used, regardless if it's "correct" or not, so do with that information what you will

@N99329

Libya is mentioned ❤

@RancidGravy

Shi with the little toks makes it a Jhi... Doesn't matter what the original inspiration for the name was.

@GoldenAxeBuildz

Ok so gif is pronounced gif because the g stands for graphics and you don’t pronounce graphics Jraphics

@coolestguy1816

I pronounce it like “jee buh lee”

@kyleo8953

Didnt know it was derived from arabic
