in russian amen is amnhb but the n is backward so how would that word be pronounced in it's entirity.?

Answer 1

The Russian I looks like a backward Latin N. (They seem to say "amin", not "amen".)

The Russian N, in turn, looks the same as a Latin H.

The little "b" after the N is called a "miashky znak" -- soft sing. Its function is to indicate that the sound preceding it (in this case, the N sound) is to be pronounced with the tongue slightly higher than normal. In this case, the resulting sound is identical to that of the Portuguese "NH" and French "GN" groups, as in the word "champagne". This sound does not seem to exist in English.

The Russian alphabet, Cyrillic, has many peculiarities such as these. Here's a good link I've found:

Have fun. :)

Answer 2

When trying to represent Russian script in the Latin alphabet, you should try to make the letters look as closely as possible to the original characters. The lowercase version of that word would not look anything like that. I assume you mean this:

aMNHb (backwords N) (аминь)

which would be pronounced "ah-meen"
