<p>Google Translate has a different pronunciation of 云 (yun) than this website: <a href="https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/pronunciation/Yun" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/pronunciation/Yun</a></p>

<p>The Google Translate one sounds like more the Cantonese pronunciation of "far" whereas the other one is more like "yween".</p>

<p>Google Translate: <a href="https://translate.google.com/#en/zh-CN/cloud" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://translate.google.com/#en/zh-CN/cloud</a></p>

<p>Which is correct?</p>

The pinyin **yun** is short form of **yuen**, so the right pronunciation is yee-woo-en.

Unless you reside in Hong Kong, which Google translate might switch the pronunciation to Cantonese.

You can go to [汉典](http://www.zdic.net/z/15/js/4E91.htm) to listen the sound files.

This is the correct one.
