"牟县" is romanized as "Móu Xiàn" in pinyin. Here’s how to pronounce it:
- "Móu" starts with an "m" sound, followed by a close-mid back rounded vowel "o" sound, similar to the "o" in "more" but without the "r" sound at the end. The tone is a high, falling tone, which means the pitch starts high and falls slightly.
- "Xiàn" begins with an "x" sound, which is similar to the "sh" in "she" but with a slightly more forward placement of the tongue. It is followed by the "ian" sound, which is similar to "ean" in "mean" but with a slight "i" sound at the beginning. The tone is a rising tone, which means the pitch starts low and rises.
When pronouncing "Móu Xiàn" together, it should sound roughly like "moh she-an," with attention to the specific tonal inflections of Mandarin Chinese.
