The word "MENK" is spelled using the following IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription: /mɛŋk/. The first sound, /m/, is a voiced bilabial nasal, produced by pushing air through the nasal passage while closing the lips. The second sound, /ɛ/, is an unrounded open-mid front vowel, pronounced with the tongue in the middle of the mouth. The third sound, /ŋ/, is a voiced velar nasal, produced by pressing the back of the tongue against the soft palate. And finally, the last sound, /k/, is a voiceless velar plosive, produced by completely blocking the airflow in the mouth and then suddenly releasing it.
