Dear teachers...

What's the correct pronunciation of 'along'?

Some dictionaries say it should be (ə-lông, ə-lng) or əˈlɒŋ
Sometimes I can hear the /g/.

Which one is right? both?

Thank you
 
Like a + long /əˈlɔŋ/ in sentences like "I have a long beard."

A final g is present only in some dialects (or rather patois).
