Oh. My granma's friend's name is Marian.
Anywho...how am I supposed to know that's a silent "j"?! I don't speak Croation.

It's not a fucking silent J. It's a J that you pronounce like a y, common in Eastern European language.

Marian - Ma-ri-uhn
Marijan - Marr-e-yahn

:) i have tought you well young jedi....;)

In certain accents simmiliar to that of my own, "Marian" sounds like "Marijan". And both sound like Marr-e-yahn.

Oh, so this is your phony English accent?
