Question about н ending. Can anyone tell me the rules for the pronunciation of н. I can't figure out when it is supposed to be pronounced /n/ or /ŋ/ (N or Eng) Sometimes I hear the Eng sound, and sometimes I do not, but I don't understand what the pattern is. Here are some examples of the words I am talking about:(These are ones I found audio for so I am using them as examples) N Eng Өдрийн мэнд Оройн мэнд амьтан хүрэн сайн өдөр ногоон чемодан заан ягаан улаан чагаан заан For the left column I hear 'n' at the end, and for the right column I hear 'ng' at the end. Could anyone tell me what the rules are for this? Thanks for reading! Ahh my question didn't post correctly, sorry!! I'll redo the list. N Өдрийн мэнд амьтан сайн өдөр чемодан Eng: Оройн мэнд хүрэн ногоон заан ягаан улаан чагаан заан

I don't think there is such difference. I can speak either of these words with either Eng or N, and each word doesn't sound wrong except "ногоон" where the first "н" sounds like Eng but not the last one.

As much as I know, when "н" is not followed by anything, it shud be pronounced as "ng", but as "n" before a vowel or most consonants. May sound as "m" before "b", as in "sain baina". I'd be interested as well in knowing more precise rules...^^
