--description--

ang is the first back nasal final you learn.

Unlike front nasals which end in n with the tongue tip behind the upper teeth, back nasals end with ng, made by lifting the back of the tongue against the soft palate.

To pronounce ang, start with the open vowel a, then let the sound continue into the back nasal ng. Keep the mouth open and allow the sound to resonate at the back of the throat. The transition should be smooth without any break.

When ang is combined with initials, you get syllables such as bang, pang, mang, fang, dang, and chang.

Let's practice pronouncing ang and the syllables, and then use fang in different tones as an example.
