How to Pronounce This Syllable

hng joins the initial h to the final ng in one motion — say it as a single Mandarin beat with the tone over it, not as English letters in a row.

Start the syllable on the initial h, then run straight into the final ng — keep them joined instead of sounding out separate English letters.
