For people who don't know Dutch, the pronunciation is kind of like "noiken in de koiken".
That would be the German 'eu' pronounced 'oy'. In Dutch, it's pronounced like 'uh'.
N American English doesn't really have that diphthong though.
That’s a very rough approximation (more German than Dutch), but I wouldn’t be able to give a better one using just English spelling without additional hints. In IPA it’s øː (with some regional variation).
