Ng is also a popular Chinese surname. Ng is NOT pronounced Ing Sweet Jesus!

How do I pronounce it properly?
Ng is more of a sound than an utterance. Try humming with your throat for half a second and that's exactly what Ng is. If you know what 5 is in Cantonese, that is also what Ng is.
So basically, Ng == "mm".

Other things about Ng as a surname:

  • It is over 3100 years old.
  • It corresponds to Wu, Woo in Mandarin or Ing, Ang in Anglicized Cantonese (otherwise known as bastardization).

Besides being a last name, Ng in Cantonese may mean:

    5, as in the number.
    Not, as in negation.

Might I add also that NG stands for No Good in Filming Jargon. It is synonymous to Blooper.
