pin -ping
0 Hi, 02 br
00 who is it that pronounces pairs like pin-ping the same? I'm interested in cases in which 01 i 00 pin 02 i 00 and 01 i 00 ping 02 i 00 sound the same and like 01 i 00 ping 02 i 00 (not 01 i 00 pin 02 i 00 ). In other words, I'd like to know if there are any dialects in which final 01 i 00 n's 02 i 00 are produced like final 01 i 00 ng 02 br
02 br
00 pin ping ---> ping 02 br
00 ban bang ---> bang 02 br
00 ran rang ---> rang 02 br
00 ...and so on 02 br

0 Hmm. I'm not aware of any dialect that does that. "ban" and "bang" and "ran" and "rang" actually have totally different vowels, at least in my own dialect, and in several others.

- /bæng/ -> [ beng ] (ng=engma); /bæn/ -> [ bæn ] or [ be@n ] .
- There are some dialects that pronounce 01 b 00 two 02 b 00 syllable words with /ng/ as [ In ] (or in my case [ in ] ) , but not the other way around.

00 Yeah, I know that there are some dialects that pronounce final ng as n in some cases (for example African American English, I guess). In other words, in some cases /ng sound/ ----> /n sound/ (I think it's [ N ]-->[ n ] in SAMPA) 02 br

00 I thought there was also someone who did the other way around, /n sound/ ----> /ng sound/. 02 br

0 Well, I'm pretty sure that that feature doesn't exist in NAE, BrE, AuE, or NzE. It might exist in one of the more exotic varieties of English, with lots of substratum influence, but evn that's doubtful. 02 br

00 The only exception would be before /g/ or /k/ though: 02 br
00 pink = [ pINk ] (or in some progressive forms of California English [ piNk ] . 02 br

0 I see. Maybe that feature could be found in some foreign variety of English, that is English with some kind of foreign accent... 02 br

0 If it's any consolation to you, you're not alone in this... situation. Many Spanish speakers pronounce 'an', 'en', 'in', 'on' and 'un' with the 'ng' sound, especially when they are final syllables. 02 br
