Today I learned that it’s an indigenous Māori word, and as such we should probably be respectful and stick with how they pronounce it.

And here I thought it was derived and bastardized from “manna” the bread. TIL

Weirdly enough that’s how I’ve always pronounced it because of the amazing language: rallienglanti (it’s English read out loud in Finnish way)
