How to Pronounce N n vs. NG American English
I recently got an email asking me to
make a video on the difference between
the mm N and all ng sound the sound this
sound feels more forward it feels here
because the part of the tongue that
raises is more forward this Ford part of
the tongue raises and touches the roof
of the mouth here very forward just
behind the teeth mmm mmm nice on the ng
sound
it feels further back because the part
of the tongue that raises is for the
back for here does this part of the
tongue sing oh that raises and touches
the throat back part of the mouth mmm
also the jaw makes a small shift but
that is only to accommodate the part of
the tongue that is moving mmm it drops a
little bit more mmm and moves back a bit
it’s a down and back motion some words
sin mmm sing them sin mmm touches here
sing mmm touches here fun fun fun fun
fun gasps Sun mmm some mmm Sun and some
mmm the word running has both sounds in
it run mmm is the forward sound running
is the back sound so watch how my jaw
moves on this word running running
