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."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)

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.
