中国・ベトナム系の人の苗字でしばしば遭遇するやつ。なんて読むのかいつも疑問。聞く限りだと、"N"そのものでいいみたいに聞こえる。
Ng (pronounced [ŋ̍]; English approximation often /ˈɪŋ/ or /ˈɛŋ/) is a Cantonese, Shanghainese[1] and Hakka transliteration of the Chinese surnames 吳/吴 (Pinyintransliteration for Mandarin equivalent: Wú) and 伍 (Mandarin Wǔ) meaning "five" or "troops". In Hokkien (Taiwanese) and Teochew, Ng corresponds to the surname 黃/黄 (Mandarin Huáng) meaning "yellow"; or to 阮 (Mandarin Ruǎn).
まあWikipediaに回答があるんでアレだけど、Quoraで読んだのが面白かったんで。

ARE YOU READY? Can you handle the complexity of my last name? CAN YOU?
This is how you pronounce it: Ing.
Like "studying", "crying", or "dying". I'm sure all of you are familiar with those words.
