It was z-ah-ng.

The meeting was an agency pre-vetting then I drove across the city for an on-the-spot interview with a company they represent. Today I learned one major truth: Navigating unfamiliar cities is tough, but it's easier if you loosen your tie...

Oh, I thought this was for some kind of hook-up opportunity or something.

Should have known better, shouldn't I?

According to my Chinese friend:

Tsang is a name created in Hong Kong and doesn't officially belong to any language, so it's hard to give an official explanation as to how it's to be pronounced.

He said 'ts' is pronounced as a cross between 'z' and 's'.

Keeping that in mind, an English person pronounces 'tsang' as 'zung'.

A Cantonese person pronounces it as 'zung', but it is said much faster than pronouncing it in English.

A Mandarin pronounces it as 'zerng'.
