Correct pronunciation of the word MONK

[Tom]

Hi,

Could you please tell me the correct pronunciation of the word MONK?

Does it rhyme with sunk or conk?

Tom

PS: I have heard both.

[Alan]

Hi Tom,

I would rhyme monk with sunk as in monkey.

Thanks, Alan

I did not ask my question properly, as usual. :D

Is the other pronunciation used also? Would it be considered correct... rhyming it with Conk?

Tom

[Alan]

Hi Tom,

I can only say how I would pronounce it. Your other suggestion of rhyming with conk sounds unusual to me.
