Now wait here, this is interesting. What exactly do you mean
with "ng"? Velar nasal only, or nasal + "g"?

The reason I ask, that there is a similarity with Swedish here. 
In Swedish the "g" -gn- and -gn is prononced as a velar nasal,
thus similar to Latin.

Or was "mang-nam" just a typo for "mag-nam"?
