"Components of this list deriving from Chinese sound closer to the British pronunciation -æŋ in Mandarin and are sometimes pronounced as such by American speakers as well." I suppose this is referring to words like Tang, yang, and Wang, which are often pronounced like [ɑːŋ] as in "song" (although I pronounce yang and Wang more like [eɪŋ])
