If you don't know IPA symbols, this could be written in English as 'moonk'. Like the word 'monk', but with a 'oo' vowel, as in 'soot'. (The vowel is slightly different than that 'oo' in English, but it is the closest to it.) I'm not sure if English speakers pronounce it in an Anglicised way - perhaps they just say it like the English word 'munch'. [/FONT]
