How to pronounce Ouyang?

Pronunciation of Ouyang in China

In China, Ouyang is primarily classified as a surname (last name). The Chinese pronunciation, specifically in Guangzhou, China, is

oh y ah ng
  • oh sounds like the 'o' in so
  • y sounds like the 'y' in yes
  • ah sounds like the 'a' in car
  • ng sounds like the 'ng' in sing

"The Song Dynasty historian Ouyang Xiu traced the Ouyang surname to Di (蹄, Pinyin: Tí), a prince of Yue, the second son of King Wujiang (無彊/无疆). After his state was extinguished by the state of Chu, Di and his family was living in the south side of the Mount Ouyu (欧余山, currently called Mount Sheng 升山 in Huzhou, Zhejiang). In Chinese the south side of a mountain or the north bank of a river is called Yang (阳), thus the Di family was called Ouyang. He was called Marquis of Ouyang Ting (欧阳亭侯). Traditionally, Di's ancestry can be traced through his father Wujiang, the King of Yue, to the semi-legendary Yu the Great (大禹)."
