How do YOU say "latakia"?

yenidje

I've heard this one said YEN-ji, but seeing it spelled... ye-NIDG-e?

I was told by a tobacconist it’s lah-tuh-KEE-uh

Yeah, Latakia was easy mode. I still can't figure out the proper language from which Yenidje sprang. If it's Slavic, it'd be ooy-en-ee-dyay, I think? I searched high and low for seeds for this year as well - seems I need to frequent the fair trade tobacco forum more often.
