The word "MAOCI" may seem difficult to pronounce, but its spelling is actually quite simple once you understand the sounds involved. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced /maʊtsi/, with the stress on the first syllable. The "M" sound is followed by a dipthong "AO" pronounced as /aʊ/, which is then followed by a "C" and "I" consonant-vowel pair pronounced as /tsi/. So, "MAOCI" is actually just a straightforward representation of these phonetic sounds.
