  Similar to hanyu pinyin, but reliance on hanyu pinyin will be an overkill.

  simple. In malay, only letter E have two sounds. And pronouncing across the net is not a good idea anyways, so i leave it to u to understand urself
  
  i use the letter M for u to seee the diff
  
  Ma= Maa
  Me= me (as in I in english)
  Me= Me (s in.... can sum1 help me )
  Mi= Me(as in I in eng)
  Mo= Mo (the way u pronounce MOfo moron )
  Mu= MU wer ur mouth makes a kissing like action (the way u pron. Munnabhai )
