    My mother in law who is Hungarian born and bred was telling me to fill out a form for my FIL, she told me his name is Joesph but he spells in JOSEF, F like Forkosh

    In Hungarian the spelling would be pronounced as Yoshef.

    Rev Eliezer, koko-osh is still closer to kokosh than kakaos. Perhaps the Hungarian Jews said koko-osh and not kokosh, I really don’t remember that part and unfortunately I cannot ask my grandparents as they have passed on.

    Is your spelling of kakaos is pronounced koko-osh?

    For Josef the proper spelling in Hungarian should be Jozsef. The sound is something like Jack.

    The sound is more like zsh for Jozsef.

    Rev Eliezer, ok, that clears it up. I though the pronunciation was as you spelled it in English.
