[Surname] Re: Pronunciation of Tsang
As you can see at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton_dialect, Cantonese has no /dz/. It has /ts/ but it also has phonemic aspirated /tsʰ/ so I don't know which one it should be. Also, according to the information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Cantonese, there is a "[m]erging of /ŋ/ coda into /n/ coda, eliminating contrast between these pairs of finals: /a:n/-/a:ŋ/ . . ." in this dialect. In sum, Tsang is probably something like /tsa:ŋ/ or /tsa:n/.
