Ng (pronounced ; English approximation often or ) is a Cantonese and Hakka transliteration of the Chinese surnames 吳/吴 (Pinyin transliteration for Mandarin equivalent: ''Wú'') and 伍 (Mandarin ''Wǔ'') meaning "five". In Hokkien (Taiwanese) and Teochew, ''Ng'' corresponds to the surname 黃/黄 (Mandarin ''Huáng'') meaning "yellow"; or to 阮 (Mandarin Ruǎn). The surname is sometimes romanized as ''Ang'', ''Eng'', ''Ing'' and ''Ong'' in the United States and ''Ung'' in Australia. Ng is sometimes romanized as ''Woo'' or ''Wu'' even by people of Cantonese origin, such as John Woo. In Vietnam, the corresponding surname is Ngô.
