How do you pronounce Mnjikaning?

The correct pronunciation of Mnjikaning is:

Mun-ji-kan-ing

Here's a breakdown:

* Mun: Pronounced similar to the word "moon," but with a slightly shorter "oo" sound.

* Ji: Pronounced like the "j" in "jump."

* Kan: Pronounced like the word "can."

* Ing: Pronounced like the "ing" in "sing."

Mnjikaning is an Ojibwe word, and the "j" is pronounced as a "j" sound, not a "zh" sound as in some other Indigenous languages.
