OT: how the heck do you pronounce "Aja?"

Being who I am, I've pronounced it "ah-zha." But I recently heard someone say "Asia."

This is keeping me up nights. I'm out of meds.

A few months ago, during a shopping trip, I was wearing my Aja shirt that I got one year for helping out in the Aja booth at the NAB.

A guy stopped me and, looking at the logo on my shirt, said, "Aha!"

I was speechless, so he explained, "In Spanish, the J is pronounced as a soft H."

I laughed.
