Greetings.
why is the word 'congress' pronounced /'kɒŋgres/, and not /'kɒŋres/? Might it be because of the nasal /n/ sound, and if so, when is the letter n not pronounced as nasal sound, when accompanied by g?
Also, do all gerunds and -ing (as in continuous forms,and adjectives) have nasal sounds without the g sound?
Thanks.
