[edit] Baranggay or Barangay
Is the official spelling correct? Is there supposed to be one g and is there officially an ng pronounciation or not ? I need this info for translations.--Jondel 06:44, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
The official spelling is Barangay. Ng is actually just one letter out of the 23 letters in the Pilipino alphabet. This letter is one of the most used letter in the Pilipino language. The letter ng is read as "nang". When added to a word, pronunciation may vary depending on whether you're adding a letter before or after the letter ng. See ng on the following word examples such as ngayon(now), ngunit(but), galang(respect)and bawang(garlic). Also, when ng is found in between letters, words are also pronounced differently. Examples: dalangin(prayer), kailangan(needs),alanganin(in doubt).
