NG Sound
The NG sound is a voiced velar nasal consonant. It is made by blocking airflow in the mouth with the back of the tongue against the soft palate (velum) and allowing air to pass through the nose while vibrating the vocal cords. It appears in words like "sing", "king", and "long".
Raise the back of your tongue to press against the soft palate (velum), creating a seal like for /k/ or /g/. Lower the velum to allow air to flow out through the nose. Vibrate your vocal cords. The lips and tongue tip are not involved.
