I don't think any of you will know how to pronounce it properly, unless, of course, you happen to be Latvian or Russian. Then it's easy, as the ņ sound is pronounced exactly like the н sound in "нет" (net).
Kaķis saka "ņau!" – the cat says "meow!"
Kaķis žēli ņaud – the cat is meowing piteously
Kaķa ņaudēšana krīt man uz nerviem – the meowing of the cat is getting on my nerves

Ak! Of course the cats speak better Latvian than I do--I assumed they were just saying no and now.
I should study more.
