    Ooh I wanted to make that reference too but I don’t have the knowledge to do it properly.i couldn’t remember if jinn started with a D or not, etc.

      We don’t have that letter in English (as in, we can’t pronounce it), so jinn and djinn are both acceptable because they’re rough approximations. It’s true of a few of our letters in other languages.

      My general rule is if you’ve seen an Arabic speaker do it, its probably ok
