Yes, in English
It also says that bus is pronounced ˈbəs, but it's a contraction of French omnibus, that comes from Latin omnibus, which is pronounced ɔmnibus (both in French and Latin), like goose, but with a much shorter oo sound.
Anyway the point was is English language that stole words from other languages and changed their pronunciation, not the other way around.
