Manga.. I thought that was the right way to pronounce it.

I think 'monga' is the 'mon' from monday and the 'ga' from the usual 'gaaaah'. Though, I initially thought it was the 'mon' from Mongolian...

Anyway, I say it the usual Japanese way (in this case, 'monga' but I use the usual romaji, which is manga (:

Man(male)-ga just makes me laugh nonstop XD

Y'know, in my native language..MANGA has the same meaning as the mango fruits!

Ahaha, same here. Though, it's my country's national language (Malaysia)~ Indonesia should be the same too I guess.

Wait whaa!! Are you serious!!?! I'm originally from Brunei. Both of us speak the same language! What a coincidence!

MANGA = MANGO = FTW!!!1

I always pronounce it manga, I thought monga was the incorrect way....cause I heard from that in Chinese comic is like Manhua. And in korean, it's like Manhwa or something......so I was like eh, if two out of the three is "mAn", then there's no way the third one is "mOn"

It is the same word in here too, but I am far... far away from Asia
Some people say manga sounding exactly the same as the word for mango, which can bring some misunderstanding... but I make it sound a little differente in the last a

Ahaha XD Yeah, but I'm major fail, so I suck at my own national language >.>' And YARH! Bow to the lovely yellow fruit!! orz




Even the way to pronounce 'manhua' is different to 'manga' XD (it needs to have a correct tone). If you ask me, the poll makes everything rather confusing since 'monga' (Monday) is the right way to say it but wrong way to spell it XD But if you read 'monga' the way it's supposed to be said in Japanese, it's totally wrong DX (もんが O__O)

so what's the correct way to pronounce manga?

It's not the 'mon' from monday. That would be munga. It's the 'mon' from Mongolian. Pronounced like 'mah-n-gah' (that's the way I pronounce it, anyways). Wikipedia has a sound file of how to pronounce it. You can listen here.

its pronounced man- hwa
its mando =D

lol my bad it is actualy man hua
manhwa is korean lol

Mon, man, mun, ugh...
I don't know anyone that pronounces manga as "monga/mahnga/man-ga" or any other way than this:
Mang (rhymes with hang) guh (like the "gu" in "gut" )
It's said with an American accent because I'm in America...
Anyway, that's the common pronunciation amongst the few people I have talked about manga with.
I should call it "mongo." Like "bongo" with an "m."

The Chinese/Korean stuff I don't even try to pronounce.
But really, just based on phonetics, wouldn't "Manhua" and "Manhwa" be pronounced the same? I would pronounce them the same way... Is there something I'm missing?
Also, wouldn't the Chinese stuff vary amongst different dialects (Cantonese, Mandarin...) like other words?
Confusing...

I hope you call the japanese people who mispronounce every english word they use 'unlettered' also.

I don't really care about how the japanese pronounce it, it's not like I talk about manga with japanese people that often...
