We’ll definitely have to add “Jag-wah” to the third US pronunciation."There’s another BritEnglish pronunciation “Jag-wah”. The “wah” is lilted in a way to form a third syllable."
I guess there's another way - I say "Jag-wah" with no "lilt". Two syllables. Of course, growing up in MA, I also don't pronounce the "r" in "park", or in "car", or in many other words!

Do y’all speak the “Kings English” up there? Or is that only in New England? In Maine they have all those hard R sounds.
Down here we like to make fun of the MA accent: “pahk the cah in Hah-vahd yahd”.
