YA-nuys in Swedish, YA-nuws in German, and YAH-noos in Finnish.
In Latin it would be pronounced: "yah-nus". There was no J in classical Latin; rather, "i" could serve as both a vowel (with an "ee" sound) or consonant (with a "y" sound). Currently, it is common to change the consonantal "i"s to "j"s. An alternate spelling: Ianus.
Pronounced JAY-nus.
