I think it can be either but I always say it with a soft "g". The other day a lady asked me what was correct and I said either.

The dictionary has an oral sound, which can be heard on your computer at the following address: http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/a...0syndrome.
Dr Hans Asperger referred to himself with the soft g as most Austrians I've asked tend to pronounce the name (exactly like the sound the g in hamberger)

Does anyone know how you pronounce it in Holland? I usually say it the English way or just call is AS, but I have a meeting with a specialist in a few weeks to see if I qualify for a diagnosis and me and my mother are quite afraid that we'll pronounce it wrong. We know that the specialists won't mind if we do, but we would be more comfortable if we knew how to say it.
The way I've heard it pronounced by specialists and on TV is not to pronounce it like 'asperge' (aspersju), but really pronounce a gé-sound like in 'bergen'.
