imported>Sol Pacificus: It does. But just because it's spelled in English via the Vietnamese reading doesn't mean the origin isn't Chinese. If we're going by the origin of the name, no one reading is objectively the best. /ŋʉɐnX/ is thought to be the Middle Chinese pronunciation. There are many Chinese languages; the faithfulness to origin argument doesn't necessarily mean we have to use Mandarin. My opinion is that NPOV means we should use the most common appearance in English, rather than privileging any language.
