Okay I've done a search to see if anyone has asked this seemingly basic question before but haven't found anything so I ask you, why in the world are the people of Troy not called Troyans? Where did the 'j' come from?
It occurred to me that perhaps a mistake occurred at some point and the spelling of the German word Trojan, pronounced Troyan, was adopted and given its English pronunciation instead of retaining the pronunciation and spelling it in English. What do you guys think?
