How do you pronounce "مفتخر" in Farsi?
Say "mof-ta-KHAR" — three syllables, stressed on the last, with a raspy 'kh' (like softly clearing your throat, as in Scottish 'loch') in the final syllable.
moftakhar
Stress is on the final syllable, khar, per the regular Persian word-final stress pattern.

'Az farzand-ash moftakhar ast' means 'She is proud of her child' — farzand-ash uses the possessive suffix -ash ('her/his'), az (of/from) marks the source of pride, and ast (is) is the third-person singular of 'to be'.
Where English speakers slip
The biggest mistake is pronouncing خ as a hard English 'k'; moftakhar needs real friction in the throat on that sound, not a clean stop.
