Question about American English pronunciation.
When you have a verb in continuous form ("ing" ending) before the word "it", do you link the "G" with the "it" or do you just omit the "G" and link the "n" with the "it"...
Examples: "Reproducing it"
1. "Re-pro-du-cin-git" or...
2. "Re-pro-du-ci-nit.
Thanks

In standard American English we keep the -ing ending, regardless of what the next word is. However, there are some fairly common dialects in which people replace the -ing ending with-in. They also do this regardless of what the next word is.

The "g" becomes a nasal sound that can be continued indefinitely, like humming. There is no link to the next word.
In dialog, authors will sometimes omit the "g" and replace it with a apostrophe in order to make it sound different. Thus you can write:
"reproducing it" or "reproducin' it"
In the first you have a nasal sound. In the second you have no nasal sound and the "n" is linked to the "it".
