There is no ŋ any more in Turkish (not even in the pronounciation), right?

Quoting Abla

There is no ŋ any more in Turkish (not even in the pronounciation), right?

 

"Nazal n " or  " Velar n " or  "Genizsel n " is not shown in Turkish Alphabet. However, in many regional dialects it is alive and used. Although it is abolished in İstanbul Turkish, it is still surviving in dialects .

For example, when people in Interior Anatolia say " nörüyon " , that "n" is "nazal n".

Another example ---> donuz  [ the way of pronouncation  "domuz" in dialects ]

 

English words which ends with "ng " , the last sound is "nazal n".

 Coming   ---> ŋ  --> ng
