The Zhodani have a few TL-15 planets, so the maximum should be jump-6.
I will double check this with a few “canon” and “semi-canon” sources.
I pronounce Zhodani “Zoo-daa-ni”. My version is biased by my native language which is Swedish. (The “ni” would be like in the Monty Python movie, with the knights that say “ni”)
There was a discussion about pronunciation at the TML in june 2004.
I have always pronounced it “Zoh -Dah-Nee”. Also Very few ships would be J6 capable, and given the importance of the core expeditions I would suspect the focus of such production. J6 Warships are a waste.
In the Mongoose setting the Zhodani have achieved TL14, which would mean J-5 engines at best with J-6 prototypes available to the consulate only. (at twice the size and cost, according to MGP: High Guard).
Also I ‘agree’ with Swordworlder on the pronunciation as it is the way I always pronounced it myself.
Not sure on the intended pronunciation though! I dislike the way Joe-danny and Sho-danny sound because I’m biased to Zho-Dah-Nee now.

Nice that someone reads (and answers) the older posts.

I have always suspected that the Zhos were capable of jump 6 although probably not in great numbers.

The pronuncitation of Zhodani was brought up way back when. The two “approved” pronuncitations were:
Joe-danny
Sho-danny

Always nice to see that 5 year old posts still lives.
Was there something in the old TML about this?

Being Italian, my pronounciation sounds like this : Zoh-Dah-Nee
