Hot take: Blahaj is a better pronunciation because it is derpy like our beloved shonk.

I'm afraid if I pronounce it "Blowhigh" it will come off the same way as being that one person who pronounces "gyro" with a silent g at a greek restaurant. Like it's correct but the exonym seems to already have stuck at this point.
Ok but like...who cares? Does anyone actually verbally discuss lemmy instances?
so... blohaj then?
Å is pronounced almost like "au" in English. Like the start of Austin or Australia.
Blahge
I always pronounce it blähaj
that's the german gassy version
Nah, it's blah-hog. And nobody can convince me otherwise.
Well I think you're a blåhard and a pedant!
(Not really, I just wanted to write blåhard, love you ❤️)
Edit: spelling =)
A pendant?! How dare you!
Curse my autocorrect! I could swear I typed no 'n' XD
Well being a pendant would be pretty boring. Just hanging on some necklace for all eternity.
I named mine Blahaj just so I negate any pronunciation issues. Like Data from star trek
I will pronounce it how i please. Bloyhagg 😤
Personally I prefer to pronounce it "bog hag".
Babaj :3
Ah, but I named my Blåhaj blahaj because I like to mispronounce it
I mean it's being pronounced by Swedes so it should be. it'd be written blåhai in Norwegian but pronounced the same.
Also, if you want to get the correct Danish pronunciation, try pronouncing it the Swedish way while blackout drunk with someone's ball sack in your mouth.

Others are split, whether Danes having a frog or a hot potato in their mouth while speaking.
But like the o in lot, or roll, or corn, or tailor, or women...?
