This is from my mac's dictionary...
Tunguska |toŏ ng ˈgoōskə; tə ng-|
two rivers in Siberia in Russia, the Lower Tunguska and the Stony
Tunguska, that flow west through the forested, sparsely populated
Tunguska Basin into the Yenisei River.
... when I've heard it on documentaries... it sounds like
Toon-GOOSE-ka
but i'm not really good at reading the phonetics in dictionaries...
which i should prob start learning.
