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!

Tong

Google translate pronounces it tung but with a posh southern accent.

It's definitely "tung"! A tong is something for moving hot coals or curling hair!

Absolutely this^ Tung up here in Scotland.

Tung- South Wales
Tong- Yorkshire, new castle relatives

However they don't say it like I say tong, it's more with a longer 'o' or maybe a 'ou' kind of sound. I think it's more accent than pronunciation.🤷🏻‍♀️

Tong - from Nottingham!

The Oxford English dictionary gives the pronunciation as tʌŋ

That triangle is pronounced like the "u" in "cup". So you're right, OP.

Tong.

Tung here, too.

Tung.
Tong is only as in a pair of tongs.

I say tong and I'm working class East Midlands. But I'm aware most other people say tung. I also apparently say 'bald' wrong, I pronounce it bold.

Tong, I've never heard anyone say tung

Tung! As above Tong for me would mean pair of Tongs

Tung. I've never heard anyone say Tong.
(I've lived in the North West and the South West)

Apparently either is correct. (Or should that be eether is correct?)

It's 't uh ng '

I'm from Warrington and I say tong. Went to high school in Widnes and everyone there said tung; some people there said I talked posh(!) but to me tung sounds posh! How does an "o" sound like a "u"?!

Hmm could explain the sign in our staff canteen though:

'Don't use fingers to select flapjacks. Please use tongues'

Tung for me and tong for DH (from Nottingham). Others we can't agree on include none (which is apparently pronounced 'non'), bus (he says it with a long 'oo' but he swears I'm saying 'bas'), and whether it's ladder or ladders (not sure if this is regional or just a bonkers family thing).

Tung but I’ve lived in the US for thirty years, so who knows what else I’ve been up to.

Also agree with tenton, DH says bold too drives me potty

Tong - North west

Tung here in south west.

It's most defnitely tung. Tong is what you curl your hair with.
