In portuguese, that word would be "né?", or "ahn?" in a different context.

  As a request to repeat/rephrase: - Russian: "э?" or "а?" ("eh?" or "a?") - Japanese: "え？" ("eh?")

    - French: "Hein?" which is a nasalized sound without an English counterpart. Pronounce "Haaaaa" then let some air go through your nose by raising your uvula/lowering the back of your tongue a bit. This voice synth is accurate: https://translate.google.com/#fr/fr/hein%3F https://translate.google.com/#fr/fr/hein%3F (click on the speaker at the bottom left of the text box). Edit: It's pretty close to its portugese counterpart: https://translate.google.com/#pt/fr/ahn%3F https://translate.google.com/#pt/fr/ahn%3F

      We actually say both "ahn?" and "hein?". Sometimes we also use "hein" to start a sentence (usually when you are repeating a question)

  "né" is short for "não é?" which means "isn't it?"
