"The right pronunciation of Gujba is Gu- like in goofy=gu(fi), -j- in gin=g(in) and -ba like bar=ba(r).
Using English consonant symbols it should be like that:
g like get, bigger, ghost
u: like boot, move, shoe, group, flew, blue, rude (with a strees)
dz like jump, edge, soldier, gradual (however, some locals used to pronounce it rather like jingle)
b like back, rubber
^ like cut, some, blood, does"
