Dysphagia pronunciation?

Is it pronounced with a "g" like "goat" in some parts of the country? I thought I heard someone in a conference pronounce it that way. is the pronunciation interchangeable?

ok thanks, yeah I do understand that the dictionary pronunciation is j like in leisure, I could have sworn I heard it the other way, but they must have mispronounced it.

I'll do my best to phonetically do this. DIS FAYS JA

SOUNDS LIKE THE J IN JUST and thats the only way I've heard it done.

I've only ever heard it pronounced with a "g" like in "cage"

LOOK UP THE WORD IN A WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY AND IT WILL TEACH YOU HOW THIS WORD IS PRONOUNCED.

I agree-I've never heard it pronounced with a hard G.
