Does the pronunciation of ん change with the sound following it?


For example, the word かばん (bag) is pronounced kabaN when it's alone but what
if another word like と (and) comes after it? Would it be still pronounced
kabaNto, or should you consider the following と and say kabanto?




Yes, it does. For example, ん is pronounced like [n] in かばんと、かばんの、and かばんで
(before [t], [n] or [d]), like [ng]/[ŋ] (as in siNGer) in かばんが and かばんか
(before [g] or [k]), and like [m] in かばんも (before [m], [p], or [b]).
