How do you pronounce the last name ng?


How do you pronounce the last name ng?

ing

Ning

easy its ng!

In Canada it's pronounced "ing" like the end of a present progressive..hah
not sure about the chinese one though.

ning

I reckon like "in" without the I.
So just an N sound lol.
But I'm just guessing ;]

super question.. ok.. i wil pronounce as king or ring.

This is known as a Velar nasal. Say 鈥淩ing鈥? and hold the final sound. Note that we don鈥檛 say rin-g, it鈥檚 just 鈥渞ing鈥? There鈥檚 no real 鈥済鈥?to it. When you hold that sound, you鈥檒l feel air going out your nose, just like when you hold an 鈥淣鈥? and you鈥檒l feel your tongue pressed against the back of the roof of your mouth.

Ask the person named Ng.

ING

ng is used in maori as well you put the back of your tongue to the back of the roof of your mouth front of the tongue stays down mouth slightly open make a humming sort of sound and let it go . but really it's a sound thing that can't be explained really with letters when you let the tongue down with sound at the end is an i not eye sound

For Chinese, it is pronounced close to the word "urn".

You mean Min nan or Southern Fujian, or Hokkien name 榛?Ng , right?

Hokkien people in Singapore know how to explain in English. Visit Singapore section, as well.

try this "earn" or "urn"

It's cantonese for "wu"

Ning, or in some other languages such as Cantonese, Wu.
In vietnamese I believe its pronouces "nu"

It is pronounced 艐泰 in the International Phonetic Alphabet.

ng for No Good.
No, it is "n" in Cantonese, but "wu" in Mandarin.

No good answered yet? Let me try...

The sound does not exist in English as an initial sound, however, it does exist as ending sound.

RANG (with the RI and without the hard G )

It's more like the N sound in RANG, but with a very silent G, formed in your throat.

That how it's pronounced in proper Cantonese. In other communities it's sure different as they will have problems with that sound.

The throat part of the NG sound is often obmitted by nativ cantonese speaker. Example, NGAU (Beef) becomes often AU. NGOH (I) become OH.

In cantonese "NG" is quite a common surname

The mandarin equivalent would be "Wu", which has a completely different pronunciation

In cantonese, NG is pronounced as a nasal sound. no vowel or whatsoever, so it's difficult to describe. U hear it once and u'll know. So, find a cantonese, and ask him to pronounce lol~
