I don’t get it.
“Liu Kang” (the character’s name) sounds like “looking”
… It does?
How is that name pronounced in the west? Here it would be pronounced something kinda/sorta like “LEE-OWE KAHNG” Each one syllable (the first being a diphthong). The latter syllable is difficult to transcribe into an English word. I can’t think of a word in English that has that vowel sound precisely, but it’s basically the “a” in “father”, not in “cask”.
(Now be glad I didn’t explain Laura Luo’s family name…)
I mean, it all depends on whether you like being correct, or are following the pronunciation from the 1992 videogame Mortal Kombat.
How is it pronounced there?
As “loo kang”, rhymes with “bang”
