In the word "hang", it may look like the G is silent, but it's not really silent. If you remove the G, then the N sound would change. NG is an ending consonant digraph, and the G sound is just swallowed by the N, which makes the N stressing accent sounding like G. To put it another way, the terminal 'ng' is actually a separate sound from either n or g.

The NG digraph is usually found in progressive present verb endings. where we usually add the "ing" suffix to progressive present verbs.
