Hi everyone,
I am pretty much totally clueless on Vietnamese, and haven't been able to find an answer on this.
I am looking for the IPA symbol for syllable-initial /ng/.
The symbol for the syllable-final version is /ŋ/ as in English or running.
/ŋ/ is a velar nasal.
Vietnamese is the only case I can think of off the top of my head with common syllable-initial forms. The surname Nguyen and the word ngang "level".
The initial sound is more of a velar nasal stop. Any clues?
