What is the correct pronunciation of Izsack, a Hungarian boys name?

I've heard of "Izs谩k" (/EE-zhahk/, roughly, where /zh/ is the sound of s in measure, and /ah/ is like the very beginning of 'ow' as in "ow, that hurts"), but the "ck" consonant cluster doesn't occur in Hungarian. If it did, it would be pronounced /ts/+/k/, which is a bit of tongue twister.





Edit: I should've specified, "ck" doesn't occur *in the final position of a word*. It can occur in the middle of a word, as in vackor "crab apple".

It wouldn't be "Itsahk?" Like the famous (late) violinist?
Reply:The way you have spelled it, it would be pronounced:





ee-zhahk (ee as in sheep, zh as the si in vision, ah as the o in pot)





EDIT: To answer the next answer's question, No. That is not how it would be pronounced in Hungarian. The spelling given in the question would be pronounced the way I have written it.





EDIT for Martha: I've seen some Hungarian names that ended with -ak or -谩k Americanized to -ack, so that's what I was assuming.
Reply:It is spelled Izak





sounds like E-zahk





when the Z is followed by an S the Z sound is as in the name Zsa Zsa Gabor or ithe S in vision (as another response said)


When the Z is not followed by an S it sounds like a Z as in the male Hungarian name Zolton or in the word zoo.
Reply:It rhymes with Pizsack
