Anyone know the correct pronunciation for the surname Ng? I have to call a gentleman, but I can't remember how to pronounce his name. I know it's something radically different from what the spelling suggests, but I can't remember what.

Aarrgh!!!

Please help Sparkles look like a pro. Please.

One of my close friends has the last name Ng.
