How do you pronounce the dutch-frisian name TJAARD? I'm thinking that i can pronunced it cha-a-rd, but the first phonetic is tʃ as for chart?
And for the meaning someone tell me that is people watcher or observer of people, but someone tell me too protector of people?
Which is the true meanings?
Can you help me for the phonetic pronunciation and for meanings please?

So the "aa" is "ah:" and the "d" is a "t", but for the first phonetic "ty"?
For "ch" is "tʃ", but for "ty"?
Can you make me an example for a word with this phonetic, so for me is more simple know it.
I search the real dutch-frisian pronunciation, because probably i use this name for my godson,(i'm french and i don't know the true pronunciation of a dutch o similar name)help me please.

I'm Dutch, so don't worry you'll get a real pronunciation from me :)
"aa" is indeed "ah:"
"d" at the end of a word is a "t"
Good to know you're French, no I can give you a better example then in English:
Tjaard's beginning TJ sound is like the beginning sound of Thierry.
(so that would make the the French phonetic version of Tjaard: Thiart (with the a said a tad bit longer than in French))

You don't confuse me, internet yes.
Now i know that is a single syllable, thanks for the help :)
The only thing that i don't know is the beginning phonetic sound.
You said a sound in between TYAH and CHAH (sorry for my obsessive question i'm a bit slow to understand), if there is the same beginning sound in a english word, can you see the word in a dictionary and tell me which is?
So i can control the phonetic of the word and is simple for me understand the sound.
Sorry again for my persistent question, is important.

There is no word in English that starts the same, it's a pure Dutch sound, but CH comes as close as it gets in English and the beginning of Thierry is practically the same as well. I can't explain it clearer right now. I'm currently travelling, but I'm back home the 26th. I can record me saying Tjaard then and maybe e-mail the recording to you? If you create an account you can send me a private message with your e-mail address or you can just reply it to this message if you don't mind that your e-mail is here.
