Charlie:The other words were intended to show that the 'ng' sound can occur after any vowel and not just certain vowels.I think he meant vowels in the phonetic sense. Can you place a [ŋ] after a [ə] (schwa) in English?

Can you place a [ŋ] after a [ə] (schwa) in English?That's a tough one. I was thinking "brobdingnagian", but the dictionary doesn't back me up.

Anyway, to get back to the point of ŭ, in my dialect of English, ŭ can only appear after the following vowels (in the same syllable):
aŭ as in “cow”, oŭ as in “go”, and uŭ as in “shoe”. Eŭ only shows up as a variation of aŭ, as in “shout” (pronounced ŝeŭt), and iŭ only as the interjection for “eww, gross”. So just like Esperanto, English has a restricted environment for ŭ.
