In Cantonese, it is usually transliterated as wan4 tan1, the numbers referring to tones. I'll try to get a Cantonese friend (from Canton (Guangzhou) to record herself saying it, but, in my present state of immobility, it may take a bit of time. There are samples on the internet, but Cantonese has various accents, too, so they vary.
