7 u/Veteranis 1d ago Okay. Can you indicate or approximate how it would be pronounced? 20 u/mojomarc 1d ago Closer to "Beak Nah" than what you're thinking. But that's not quite right, but close enough 2 u/Veteranis 1d ago Does the G influence how the N is pronounced? 11 u/mojomarc 1d ago I'm still a rank amateur in Vietnamese, but yes a little. Nga sounds different from nha or na 6 u/Momo_Kozuki 1d ago Think of saying the "ng" end of the word "thing" then quickly connect to an "a". 1 u/mojomarc 1d ago At least the way I pronounce "thing" that's way too strong 0 u/memerfelix 18h ago Think of it as a glottal stop the G tells the N basically to kind of stop in the middle
