Is the D silent in Django?
A scene from the recent Tarantino movie
Django Unchained has
Django spelling his name then commenting “The
D is
silent“. While not as explosive a question as the use of the N-word in the movie, this statement is surprisingly complicated in terms of phonological theoryand therefore worth a blog post.
Why is Django pronounced Jango?
In some languages, j is
pronounced /ʒ/ (like in “lesion”), so adding a ‘d’ makes the sound /dʒ/. That’s why the name of
Django Reinhardt is written like that, in his language, if there was no ‘D’ or if the ‘D’ was silent, his name would be
pronounced “ʒango”.
Why is it called Django Unchained?
Django—pronounced “Jango,”
named after the famous jazz guitarist
Django Reinhardt—is a free, open source framework that was first publicly released in 2005. With the
Django web framework, web developers can focus on creating a unique application and benefit from greater flexibility than using a web development tool.
