Nah, we Germans have lots of words with 'ng': Gesang, Bedingung, Vergnügung,
Sprung, Fang, lang, Gong... I could go on endlessly. The only 'ng' we have
some problems to pronounce is when the 'ng' is the INITIAL sound, like in
'ngunit' or 'ngayon'.

You mean 'langit' as opposed to 'hanggang', where there is an extra 'g'
sound? Yes, Spanish language doesn't have it, but in German language there
are some, like 'Sprunggelenk', or 'langgestreckt'.

It was a Rajah's palace before the Spaniards' time?
