I don't know who needs to hear this, but in the US, "Nguyen " is usually pronounced as "Win". Something about the Vietnamese language being monosyllabic.


We have had a pretty significant Vietnamese population for some time now...it's past due time for us to get this right

Thank you for your service (to language).

You're going to win so much you're going to get bored of winning.

I've known this pronunciation for like 2 years, dawg.

Ngo is pronounced how?

Should just be go right?

2/27/2024 8:58:42 PM

Ngo is pronounced "naw"

2/27/2024 9:01:10 PM

Are you sure it isn’t “neh-go” cause you saw the n part of last name with hard o vowel

2/27/2024 9:04:00 PM

I thougt it was "No" but I think it's a little more nuanced.

Testing about to edit

I still remember the first time I taught E115 and had 3 Nguyens in the class. They quickly corrected me.

My roomie at State had this last name, so I quickly learned the real pronunciation

It’s the Same ng sound as English words. Wrong wing anger song

We’re just not used to it on the start of a word

I heard other than patel, nguyen is 2nd most common last name

They make some good pho and bun and banh mi.

I was pondering over some pho the other day how much rarer Vietnamese restaurants would be if we'd never invaded their country.
