Now there are plenty of variations on the Hebrew Tetagramathon YHWH, so it is possible one of those variations might be the actual way it was pronounced.

How many people do you know that have ancestors that arrived in this country(not speaking English), and in 100 years, their modern family members still speak the same language "only" that their great grandparents spoke???? I know of none...
The Jews were under "domination" and scattered all over into the nations of the world powers of their day. OVER 500 YEARS. They ALL spoke Greek in the days of the messiah. They HAD to, to survive...That was the language of the ROMAN EMPIRE. Do you know one African American (descendent) living here that speaks one sentence of the African dialect? 150 years later. I do not know even one.
The Bible says "in the fullness of time...God sent forth His Son"....Why did God choose to do this when they(Jews) were occupied by Gentile powers???...Because the Jews originally had an exclusive language. it (the Hebrew language) would have left out ALL Gentiles...That is why God waited to get the "gospel" into the hands of ALL men, immediately, by having it written in the most widely known "LANGUAGE OF THE DAY"... Greek.
