 | | The nasal consonants ந, ன, ண, ங and ம are pronounced variously based on the environment in which they occur. |  | | However, the consonant ண that occurs at the end of words is doubled and an enunciative vowel உ is added in spoken Tamil. |  | | The nasal consonants that occur at the end of words are usually nasalized by the preceding vowels. |

| | Proto-Indo-European Phonology |
 | | Different linguists have developed different sets of "laryngeals", while some have stuck to algebraic formulations, claiming that it is not possible to reconstruct the exact nature of these consonants. |  | | Voiced stops occurred in somewhat more restricted environments than voiceless stops: they did not normally occur before other stops or fricatives (except across morpheme boundaries, where they may have developed by forward assimilation to another voiced consonant). |  | | Some examples, next to the different possible consonants: |

| | Consonants |
 | | Language is a very complex phenomenon which is far from being fully understood. |  | | We classify the consonants by 1) where the obstuction occurs, 2) the degree of closure produced by the obstruction, 3) whether the nasal passages are open or closed, 4) the constrast between voicing and nonvoicing, and 5) other factors. |  | | What follows is a detailed description of the consonant system of Esperanto. |
