Xiao = shyau (vowel sound like "Ow!")
niu = nyo (with "o" as in English "No")

No, the way to pronounce "little cow/calf" or "little lass" in Mandarin Chinese would be more like 'sheeao neeo'.

The closest pronunciation would be "shall new". Translated literally it means small cow.

I think it is pronounced "Sha-new". Most Xi words sound like "Sh".
