"English" pronounced as /ˈɪŋlɪʃ/ ING-LISH [closed]

According to Wiktionary, in Old English the term Englisc still shows in its pronunciation the sound /g/, so how come it is not pronounced by some speakers according to the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary? Any other terms where a similar phenomenon appears?

Solution 1:

In Old English, [ŋ] was always followed by either [k] or [g]. Modern English words that end in [ŋ] without [g], like sing, show the result of a change of word-final [ŋg] to [ŋ] (this change did not occur to completion in all dialects).

Word-internal [ŋg] mostly remained (as in finger, anger), but an originally word-final -ng- that becomes word-internal only as the result of the addition of certain suffixes is pronounced [ŋ] (e.g. singing, singer).

The -ng- in English is not word-final, and -lish is not a suffix here, so it isn't expected to be pronounced [ŋ] according to the pronunciation patterns of the most commonly described dialects. However, some dialects or speakers may have a more extensive change of original [ŋg] to [ŋ]. The distinction between [ŋg] and [ŋ] is historically recent, not marked in the spelling, and not especially important for marking contrasts between words: these factors might make it easier for variation between [ŋg] and [ŋ] to exist for some words.
