I'm hearing more and more people pronounce "language" as [laŋ-wij] instead of [laŋ-gwij]. The same goes for the word "English": [iŋ-lish] instead of [iŋ-glish].
How prevalent has this pronunciation become in the "inner circle" of English speakers? How do you pronounce these words?

I've personally never heard the mispronunciations to which you are referring. I always hear the 'g' in both those words in everyday conversations.
Unfortunately, I also hear the 't' in 'often' FAR too often… ;-)
