Is it normal I don't actually know how to pronounce manga?

  • You must have a different accent from mine. The A in "mama" has a slightly different sound from the O in song in my accent, but it's not appreciably different.

    Here, just click the little pronunciation thing on here: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/manga

    • Mama = ah, song = aw, very noticeably different, I have a typical West Coast U.S. non-accent.

      • Oh, there's the problem! I'm on the east coast, and we don't say "song" like that at all, here. Use the "mama" "ah" sound then.
