The proper pronunciation is documented.

I know this because, at $EMPLOYER, the majority pronounce it "Jy-ra"
And, yes, I have been known to curse about it.
@EI3JDB @coder I normally pronounce it "JEE-ra" too, but I work with some people who pronounce it as though it was Danish ("yeeR'a", where R' is the Danish guttural r), one who pronounce it "zheera" like in Russian, some who pronounce it "jerra" and some who pronounce it "jyra".
But I *ought* to start pronouncing it in castellano, just to make the confusion complete.
@datarama @coder I'd wonder about their employment history, and if they formerly worked for $EMPLOYER, since I have never heard "Jy-ra" anywhere else. $EMPLOYER's head office is probably a few hundred km from where you live - possibly much closer.
However, since I am not authorised to speak for $EMPLOYER, and there are strong links between my job and some of my hobbies, I don't name $EMPLOYER on social media.
Which means I'll just have to remain ignorant. :-(
