    Apparently it is pronounced more like "jengus." When the Anglos translate this stuff to the Roman alphabet, some approximations happen and some liberties are taken. Kind of like how Beijing used to be spelled/pronounced Peking, or how Mao Zedong is also written as Mao Tse Tung in some literature.
