| | Variations in Velic and Lingual Articulation |
 | | Manuel [1991] suggested that the reduction of velopharyngeal opening (therefore nasal flow) for nasal consonants in word initial positions contributes to the reduction of the sonority of the consonant. | | | For this speaker, the amount of nasal flow in [n] is affected by the Prosodic Position of the consonant. | | | Measurements were taken at the maximum of nasal flow in [n] and at the maximum of linguopalatal contact (in %) during the closure of [n] and [t]. |

| | Words in Mawu |
| | Treating Mawu nasality in terms of of the distribution of a nasal feature in syllabic structures produces a description that is simple and quasi-universal in character, rather than complex and highly particular to Mawu. | | | The complex distribution of the various types of Mawu vowel nasality, laid out in tables 7 and 8 and the subsequent discussion, now follows from two simple principles: VV sequences must be repetitions of the same vowel (nasal or otherwise), and X is an optional syllable-final element, occuring freely after all possible syllables. | | | The existence of three distinctive types of vowel nasality is unusual--which is why the IPA does not provide for it--and might be seen as an example of the endless variability of human speech patterns. |

| | Incidentally, both of these example syllables are nasal: the first has a nasal initial consonant; the second a nasal vowel. | | | All consonants can appear at the initial position. | | | But see (for one example) Wi-vun Taiffalo Chiung's modern phonetic analysis in the References, which challenges these notions. |

| | Because these Bantu languages do not allow nasalized vowels, it is necessary to view such assimilations as operating "at a distance" (Poser 1983), with the intervening vowel(s) being transparent. | | | In this language, suffixes such as applicative /-id-/ are realized nasal even when the nasal is not the immediately preceding consonant, e.g., -mat-in-, -miituk-in-, etc. As seen in these examples, voiceless consonants are transparent to nasal harmony. | | | While prenasalized consonants do not condition nasal consonant harmony (hence, -biimb-il-), they too are somehow transparent to the process, hence: /-niimb-id-/ --> -niimb-in- because of the initial /n/. |

| | Analogously to the situation in most other languages, where nasality can be seen as superposed on an oral string and implemented with a [lowered velum] gesture, these harmony systems may consider orality (in half of their morphemes) as being superposed on a nasal string and implemented with a [raised velum] gesture, i.e. | | | Besides the nasals, this class comprises the fricatives and plosives, so that the fricatives and plosives together must form a possible class of opaque segments. | | | Any interpretation of this in functional terms (the perceptual feature [nasal] depends on a soft-palate gesture for its implemantation) is ruled out by Piggott’s subsequent statement that “[s]preading is blocked in this pattern by segments specified for the Soft Palate node”. |

| | LabPhon 8 - Abstracts |
| | Karitiana, an endangered language from the Tupi stock, spoken in the state of Rondonia in Brazil, shows interesting phenomena concerning nasal consonants in the environment of oral and nasal vowels. | | | We hypothesize that Karitiana speakers have a strategy to control the velum movements in order to achieve the distinction between oral and nasal vowels in the environment of nasal consonants. | | | The phonetic description of Karitiana nasals to be carried out in this paper adds to our knowledge of linguistic typology and universals. |

| | Reconstructing the Sindarin Verb System |
| | Some consonant stems are seen to have acquired analogical past tense forms, constructed simply by adding -ant to the root. | | | While it is true that *-inâ would also produce Noldorin/Sindarin -en (the final â umlauting the i to e before it was lost), I do not see the need to arbitrarily assume that this ending was formerly present when we have an attested pattern which is equally capable of explaining all known Noldorin/Sindarin past participles. | | | The original root is LAB, so lhefi/*levi would come from older *labie. |

| | Nasal consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the case of some Niger-Congo languages, for example, nasal consonants only occur before nasal vowels. | | | For the purposes of acoustic description they are generally considered sonorants, but in many languages they may develop from or into plosives. | | | Rarely, other types of consonant may be nasalized. |

| | So occurrences of those letters at the ends of words can be used instead to indicate tones, avoiding the need for having accents. | | | The writing system doesn't separate the quality of the vowel from its nasalization. | | | The reason that there is no ng or other indication of the velar nasal "-ng" sound is that this particular alphabet treats that nasal consonant as a feature of the vowel -- not a separate nasal consonant, but a vowel produced with nasalization. |

| | The two languages show different patterns of timing, magnitude, duration, and velocity of velopharyngeal movements. | | | Cross-linguistic data on coarticulatory nasalization of vowels preceding a nasal consonant at different speech rates were analyzed in American English and Spanish. | | | In American English, on the other hand, VP opening onset coincides with vowel onset and peak VP size occurs in the middle of the vowel across rates, which indicates that opening movements are part of the programming instructions for the vowel. |

| | HLW: Word Forms: Processes: Assimilation |
| | In simplifying things for the Speaker, a Speaker-oriented process should not make things too difficult for the Hearer. | | | This means that all English vowels have a nasalized (at least to some degree) allophone, which occurs when the vowels precede a nasal consonant. | | | Thus in general the tap appears to be easier to execute in this environment. |

| | French Nasal Vowels - Prononciation française |
| | Vowels followed by M or N are usually nasal, except when the nasal consonant is followed by another vowel, in which case the vowel and consonant are both voiced. | | | It may help you to know that there are nasal vowels in English, but they are a bit different than French nasal vowels. | | | In English, the nasal consonant (M or N) is pronounced and thus nasalizes the vowel that precedes it, whereas in French the vowel is nasal and the consonant is not pronounced. |

| | History of French Language |
| | The emergence of accentual patterns led to the reduction or loss of many unstressed vowels in the more heavily accented languages such as Gallo-Roman and Old French, and to the diphthongization of some stressed vowels in most of the Romance languages. | | | otable in phonology was the loss of opposition between Latin long and short vowels, the voicing of intervocalic voiceless consonants, and in some languages the loss of syllable- and word-final s. | | | Only in French and Portuguese, however, did vowels before a nasal consonant undergo nasalization--compare French main, "hand," with Portuguese mao and Spanish and Italian mano. |
