Monesia is not a commonly known word, and its spelling can be quite tricky. It is pronounced as /moʊˈniːʒə/ (moh-NEE-zhuh), with emphasis on the second syllable. The "o" is pronounced as long "o" sound, followed by "n" and "e" which are pronounced as they are seen. The "s" is pronounced as "zh" sound, similar to the sound in the word "garage." The final "i" is pronounced as long "e" sound, and the "a" is pronounced as schwa sound, which is a neutral unstressed vowel sound.
