Manga, with an emphasis on the second syllable, means
mango in the
Tagalog language. It is pronounced
mung-GA.
Though it makes use of the letter ng, the second syllable is actually pronounced with an initiating 'g' sound. This is perhaps to differentiate it from another Tagalog word, mga, which is pronounced as one word, muh-nga, making use of that ng character.
Manga is also the Spanish and Portugese word for sleeve.
