Depends. I have heard many pronounciations...
win
nu-gen
nu-win
gwin
ing-en
Different Vietnamese families have used different ways to say it. Like in America the name Beauchamp can be
bee-chum
bow-shomp
bee-cham

It's Vietnamese. And it is pronounced *kind of* like "Win". Actually it should start with the "-ng" sound that English speakers are usually only used to using at the end or in the middle of a word. Think "(ng)win", and try saying a word that ends with "-ng" and running that sound (without forcing or including the "g" sound) into the beginning of "win", and you'll soon get the feel for it.
Other pronunciations are bastardizations or misunderstandings of the correct pronunciations.
