Mbuna would be pronounced umboona

I've heard it a million different ways lol the guy at my lfs calls them Ma-Buna lol, I, myself, call em em-Buna, for some reason I can't change it lol, just the way it comes out :)
 
I usually pronounce it mo-bew-na to my girlfriend. In no way have I ever spoke to anyone about it, so I had never been corrected.

Would that be with that southern belle accent?

I pronounce them fish! Seriously I do. She doesn't know and probably doesn't care.
