Asia (the Polish version, not the continent)
When refering to the Polish name Asia (not the continent) is it pronounced the same? I do not really understand how it should sound by reading the pronunciation on the website. Are there any variations to make this clearer?

Asha is a good approximation but putting a "=" there is a bit misleading. By this logic Asia and Natasza would use the same sound which they don't. So maybe Asia ≈ Asha.

Asia the continent is AY-zhuh, while the Polish name is AH-shah.

No, it's not like the continent. It's AH-shah. I'm not sure how to make that clearer...the A sounds are like the ones in father.
