In Japanese, mahjong is called 麻雀, which is read マージャン, i.e. mājan. So in Japanese, all the games where they abbreviate it use ジャン (jan), so you have テレジャン (Telejan) ジャンジャン (Janjan), Ｅジャン (E-jan), etc. However, since we call the game "mahjong" or "mahjongg" in English, these names sometimes get translated as Telejong, Jongjong, E-jong, etc. However, Japanese doesn't actually have an explicit nasalised "ng" sound in its phonetic alphabets.
