/ˈdʒɛnjuːɪn/, [ˈdʒɛn̠ʲjʉɪn]

[n̠ʲ] here indicates a clearly palatalised nasal with a laminal postalveloar PoA similar to that of /dʒ/. The [ʉɪ] is perceived as two syllables, not a diphthong.

Saw some spelling homework for children, and realised I pronounced something "wrong".

How does everyone pronounce "version"?

Interesting - none of you have assimilation of /dn/ to [nː] (which, along with assimilation of /bm/ to [mː], I am used to here).
