[edit] Cantonese?
Ng is cantonese of Wu, but it is also Hokkien or Teochew of Huang. So why is this classified as a Hong Kong surname?--Huaiwei 11:25, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- 吳 and 伍 are pronounced as /ŋ̩/ in Cantonese. — Instantnood 11:30, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Its not an issue of pronounciation alone. Ng IS Huang in Hokkien.--Huaiwei 11:31, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Add content about Ng as romanised from Hokkien and Teochew then. :-D — Instantnood 11:41, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Added. Feel free to expand it. — Instantnood 11:45, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Please remove that "sg related" stub. It is not just Singaporeans who use the surname Ng to mean Huang!--Huaiwei 11:50, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- It is related to Singapore isn't it? — Instantnood 12:08, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Not necessarily, Huaiwei. It depends on what kind of Cantonese you speak. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 23:39, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
