To worry that I've been pronouncing this word wrong?

[Lovestosing]

Tongue? How do you pronounce it? I am sat watching the football with my in laws, DH and DDs. DD2 said something about sticking her tongue out (DCs pronounce it "tung" like me) MIL corrected her and said it's pronounced "tong". I knew that was how DH pronounces it but I thought it was a regional variation, but now I'm worried I'm just wrong! Can anyone help settle this? DH and in laws are from Nottinghamshire and I'm from North Yorkshire if that helps!

This is one issue on which I - a Yorkshirewoman - can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my Lancastrian enemies sisteren.

Erm, I pronounce Tuna as tyew-na and I'm from Notts originally.

Tung. Black Country.

Definitely tung.
Saying tong is as bad as saying al -monds instead of armonds.

Mind you, it’s like scone. I say skown and DP says skon but we both grew up about 1 mile apart. Work that one out!

Wtf is a 'tung'? Sorry but those of us that correctly pronounce it 'tong' are not the weirdos...
I'm from South Yorkshire if it helps, it should because we're always right, obvs.

Skown? Like clown?

YABU

Also South Yorkshire. And I can confirm that we are always right.

skown as in own

Yes scone like own.

Shropshire here, I actually use both, just to confuse matters lol.

Tung, I'm from London. I've never heard anyone say Tong like curling tong!

Tung (Home Counties). Having said that, I can't remember the last time I spoke the word out loud.

Everyone l know says "tung" except my ex who is from Manchester. He says "tong".

It’s “tong” - look at the spelling! Tung is a regional variation but the spelling pattern suggests “tong” is the correct way.

Trying to think of other words where a “o” makes a “u” but can’t...

Tongue rhymes with lung.

I have heard someone say Tong before but they are from Stourbridge so maybe thats just the way they talk there.

Tong

I'm from Derbyshire, literally never heard anybody say tung except when I moved away from home.

Tongue rhymes with lung.

This is how I pronounce it , but someone with a different accent would say 'Tong rhymes with long '

I'm from Essex & say tung. DH is from Leicester & says tong. Although his parents, also from Leicester say tung which we all enjoyed ribbing DH about

Derbyshire & Notts obviously next door to one another, which probably explains it. My DH grew up in Nottinghamshire and I just asked him, he also says "tong"

It's regional to say tong. Everyone else says tung, tung is correct.

I'm from Essex & say tung. DH is from Leicester & says tong.

It will tear you apart eventually.

Wars have been fought for less.

Though not the War of the Roses.
