However, the letter "g" does not always denote the sound /g/. When followed by "i" or "e" or preceded by d it sometimes denotes the affricate /dʒ/, as in gin and judgment. When preceded by "n" and occurring at the end of a morpheme, it often becomes the digraph "ng", which denotes the velar nasal and "g" is not pronounced, as in singer and rung, but not finger. In other languages The g sound is a common sound cross-linguistically. Many languages have at least a plain g, and some distinguish more than variety. Many Indian languages, such as Hindi, have a two-way contrast between aspirated (breathy voice) and plain g.
