    His name is actually not pronounced 'yung' in German.

    His name is actually not pronounced 'yung' in German. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Jung> notes that the man himself
    was /Swiss/, and in the German spoken in Switzerland it is:
    Jung (/j??/ YUUNG
    I am seeing "??" here; the first "?" is clearly the "UU" and the
    second the "NG" of the second transcription.
    Sadly, while the article gives the same transcription as the first
    above ("/j??/") for Standard German, it does not give a second one, so
    whether the "j" is "J" in Standard German is not apparent.
