Wording - The 'g' in lasagne (or lasagna) is "silent" in English because it is a direct borrowing from Italian, where the "gn" combination creates a single "ny" sound (like in "canyon" or Spanish "ñ"). It is not a separate hard 'g' sound, but a marker for a palatal nasal sound not naturally found in English.
