Cantonese dropping initial /ŋ/
editAccording to w:Hypercorrection, Cantonese is undergoing a phonological shift to drop initial /ŋ/, so 牙 is now pronounced aa4. This entry should probably note that descriptive pronunciation and the prescription against it (懶音, "lazy sounds"). Rod (A. Smith) 19:22, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
