Question: is g silent in ing?
Answer: The 'g' in -ing is never pronounced. What is pronounced is the velar nasal consonant represented in IPA as [ŋ]. In some dialects, this is replaced by the alveolar nasal consonant represented in IPA as [n]. ... The difference between [ŋg] and just [ŋ] can be heard in the difference between the words finger and singer.
