Question about Yuan Dynasty

As a Chinese language major, I can help you. Yuan is pronounce: "you" "an" (as in 'and'). You can choose to pronounce this word with the correct Chinese tone, which is rising. This tone is similar to the rising, questioning tone of "yeah?" "right?" "you think?" Basically, say "yuan" as a question.

you-EN
It's hard for an English speaker to pronounce, but pucker your lips, say it fast, and run the two syllables together.
