Interesting... have also heard "New-yen" and "Gooey-yen". Both from whites and people of Asian decent. But "wen" is, basically, official eh? Thanks. |
This is a great question. I believe the "wen" version is a westernized version. Perhaps someone of Vietnamese descent who is a bit older and wiser can help out, but I think the true pronunciation is ngwen. But this is too difficult for you whities to say.
Just pretend you are saying a verb ending in -ing, hold on to that last sound and then add -wen.
