Velar Nasal

The sound made in the English words with the ''-ing'' suffix. In most accents this sound is also used in ''sing'', ''ring'', ''morning'',
''bring'', ''bang'', ''song'', ''rung'',''sting'', ''string'',
''greeting'' etc. But in my Scots dialect they are pronounced with a uvular nasal distinct from the velar nasal.
In Scots the ''ng'' sound in ''morning'' is different from the ''ng'' sound in ''morning

nasal-ingressive voiceless velar trill

Linguistics joke. There's a fake IPA symbol to go with it, that looks like a pig snout.

It's linguistically correct description of, well, the sound pigs make.
First-year linguistics students can be humiliated by asking them to include nasal-ingressive voiceless velar trill in their presentation of rare and difficult-to-pronounce sounds in the West African languages.
