How is the river Ganges pronounced?

Is it Gangs, as is what American minorities often form (don't hurt me)
or
Gan-gees, as in how my mother says it's pronounced (I can't think of a witty comment to make so the truth will have to suffice)

Excerpt from Wikipedia :

The Ganges (/ˈɡændʒiːz/ gan-jeez), also Ganga (Hindi: गंगा; Bengali: গঙ্গা ; Sanskrit: गङ्गा; Hindustani pronunciation: [ˈɡəŋɡaː] gung-ga)

We here in Indonesia pronounce it as Gung-ga (The spelling is "Gangga".) In English it's the Gan-jeez one. (Hold the phone, your mother was right!)

I'd like someone to photoshop some gangstas on pictures of the Ganges.

Well I'm Indian, I usually laugh when people say gan-jeez.

I pronounce it as gan-ga (long a). That's how it's pronounced in the Mahabharata. Pretty sure everyone in India calls it river ganga though.

So in the west it's gan-jeez, and in India it's longa (you did intent the L I assume)? Cool, the more you know I guess.

English-speakers always butchering names -_-

For example, it's Sir-van-tes not Sir-van-tayz or Sir-van-tees (talking about Miguel Cervantes)

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
