This (quite interesting) question is a bit hard to answer directly because you don't want to think of the "n" and the "g" as separate sounds--they combine to form a single phoneme, a velar nasal [ŋ]. You do not pronounce the "g" like a hard g as its own consonant sound (there are of course exceptions, like the word "finger" in which the velar nasal is followed by a hard g sound, but they are rare--that's really the only one I can think of right now). At the risk of confusing you further, know that the velar nasal is not exclusive to the "ng" letter combination. The word "thank" includes a velar nasal before the k, yet there is no g in the word, so the n must represent this sound on its own. It is just a different way of representing this consonant sound in English orthography. Hope I helped a bit!

Is the " g " in words with " ing " pronounced in English ? Yes, it is. If you listen to the sound of the words 'thin' and 'thing', they are clearly different. However, the 'g' sound is not the same as a 'g' at the beginning or in the middle of a word. The 'in' sound of 'ing' is a kind of humming sound which we make in our nose, and the the 'g' after it is part of the same nasal sound. That said, some people miss out the 'g' sound at the end of these words, in the same way as some people miss out the 'h' at the beginning of words. That's why you sometimes see colloquial spellings like 'chillin', which is an imitation of this kind of speech. But in correct English, yes, we do pronounce the 'g'. I hope that helps.

no

Careful speakers usually pronounce the "g," or at least pronounce a clearly audible consonant which is written with the letter "g." You should try to pronounce it. It requires a slight effort to enunciate that "g" and in casual, or rapid, or careless, or uneducated speech it is quite common to drop it. It is sometimes consider rugged or masculine to do so. Also, I only know this from books but I gather it was at one time common for some members of the British upper class to drop it in words like huntin' and fishin' and shootin'.
