HelpRe: Taj
in reply to a message by Ciarda Rayne
I know exactly how I would pronounce it, but I'm not sure how to write it. You know how you say Taj Mahal? That's the way I say Taj.
"Taj Mahal" probably means "Crown of the Palace" (literally, "Crown Palace"). Taj is the word meaning "Crown".
There's an alternate theory, but I'll let Wikipedia's article explain it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taj_Mahal. Be sure to follow the link to Mumtaz Mahal's bio for more on the lady who inspired the Taj Mahal.

I didn't even think of Taj Mahal, haha. But that's how I was pronouncing it anyhow. I was debating if it was correct though since sometimes j's are pronounced as i's, so I thought it might be similar to Tai.
