Talking Smart: Foreign Names
Maciej Żurawski (Pol.)
In Polish language "с" stands for [ts] (if not in combination with "h"), "j" stands for [y], while
"Ż" - for [zh]. The combination "ie" means a long mild [e]. "W" is [v]. So, [matsey
zhuravski].
Mahon (Eng.)
Despite that it does not have an ending "e", it is pronounced as if it had one: [mahoun]. Note
also, that a derivation "McMahon" is read differently too.
