The word "oanh" is a Vietnamese name that uses a unique combination of vowel and consonant sounds. The correct pronunciation of "oanh" can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription as /ʔwaŋ/. The initial glottal stop (' symbol) indicates a brief pause before the vowel sound /w/. The next sound is a nasalized open-mid back rounded vowel /a ̃/, followed by a velar nasal consonant /ŋ/. This distinct sound combination is important for accurately pronouncing "oanh" and other Vietnamese words.
