Es un entrenador de fútbol, necesito saber con certeza cómo se pronuncia su nombre. Mi variante es CHabier, ¿pero quizá es KSabier?. Gracias :)

El vecino que te mencioné en la otra pregunta, es de Guatemala. En México también se pronuncia Javier. Mi hermana se llama Ximena (Simena) pero nunca oí Xavier pronunciado "Sabier", aunque es posible.

disagree  Darío Giménez: Javier se escribe con J. Xabier, con X. Se pronuncian distinto, en Azpeitia (donde nació Azkargorta), en Uruguay y en Kuala Lumpur... // Sí, pero este Azkargorta es de Guipúzcoa y allí no se pronuncia así, ni en el resto de España. Conozco a muchos Xabis.

  -> Oh, ok. Entonces tenés toda la razón y yo estoy equivocada en este caso. Pero sí te prometo que en muchos países latinoamericanos, Xavier, se pronuncia "Javier". =-)
