The most common type of sandhi in Irish is assimilation, which means that a sound changes its pronunciation in order to become more similar to an adjacent sound.
Before a velar (k, k', kk), the dental n is usually pronounced like the velar ng so that kan'go 'hardship' sounds like kanggo 'stable,' but that assimilation is ignored in both the spelling and the transcriptions.
