The pronunciation of PNG is provided in the spec:

> This International Standard specifies a datastream and an associated file format, Portable Network Graphics (PNG, pronounced "ping"), for a lossless, portable, compressed individual computer graphics image transmitted across the Internet.

I believe that the spec for MNG also specifies its pronunciation.
