[Surname] Re: How do you pronounce Leung?
in reply to a message by Tbird
What kind of name is Leung, is it Chinese? I would pronounce it with "eu" pronounced as in Fleur.

So you would pron. it like "lOOng", right? :)
I'm with Yiva on this if the name is Chinese - more like the U in fur than the YOU in you.
Of course, if this is another way of spelling the Swedish Ljung then revert to the YOU sound.

Truly appreciated:)
The Leungs I've known have pronounced it LEE-ong.
