	Alveolar nasal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The alveolar nasal is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages.
		Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue against the alveolar ridge, termed respectively apical and laminal.
		The alveolar nasal occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the letter 'n' in nine or plan.

	Alveolar consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alveolar consonants are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, so called that because it contains the alveoli (or sockets) of the superior teeth.
		Alveolar consonants may be articulated with the tip of the tongue (known as the apical consonants), as in English, or with the flat of the tongue just above the tip (the "blade" of the tongue; called laminal consonants), as in French and Spanish.
		The laminal alveolar articulation is often mistakenly called dental, because the tip of the tongue can be seen near to or touching the teeth.

	ToB AgorÃ - Glossary
		Alveolars are consonants articulated with the tip of the tongue against the internal side of the upper gums (known as the alveoles of the upper teeth).
		A nasal is a sound produced when the air is allowed to escape through the nose, while its oral passage may be blocked by the lips or tongue (a nasal stop) or opened (a nasal vowel).
		Alveolar or retroflex approximant, as in most accents of English (with minute differences): The front part of the tongue approaches the upper gum, or the tongue-tip is curled back towards the roof of the mouth ("retroflexion").

		Figure 4 - Two nasals and a vowel from the utterance "mean", with /m/ symbolized by the rapid rise of F2 from 900 Hz at the beginning, the stable vowel /i:/ in the center, and /n/ symbolized by a less dramatic fall toward 1800 Hz at the end.
		In a normal alveolar plosive closure, the vocal tract is blocked for some 50 ms, but in the flap, produced by one rapid tap of the tongue against the alveolar ridge, the duration is very short, on the order of 10-20 ms.
		The spectral appearance of the syllabics is midway between that of a vowel and that of a liquid or nasal.

		Nasals are characterized by a stable concentration of energy in the lower frequency regions with a first formant near 300 Hz.
		Nasal sounds in general are highly damped and their presence weakens the upper formants of neighboring vowel sounds.
		Since spectral differences between nasal sounds are due to modifications made within the oral resonator, adding the nasal cavity to the vocal tract increases the size of the resonator which greatly affects the frequencies of the sounds.

	The Definitive Guide to Nasal consonant XXXX (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		A nasal consonant is produced when the velumâ”that fleshy part of the palate near the backâ”is lowered, allowing air to escape freely through the nose.
		Acoustically, nasal stops are sonorants, meaning they do not restrict the escape of air and cross-linguistically are nearly always voiced.
		When a language is claimed to lack nasal consonants altogether, as with several Niger-Congo languages, or the PirahÃ£ language of the Amazon, nasal and non-nasal consonants usually alternate allophonically, and it is a theoretical claim on the part of the individual linguist that the nasal version is not the basic form of the consonant.

		Somewhat behind the alveolar ridge, it is possible to bring part of the body of the tongue near the roof of the mouth and produce voiceless and voiced fricatives that are distinguishable from /s/ and /z/.
		For nasal consonants, the air is allowed to pass through the nasal cavity, but it also resonates in the oral cavity, and the place of articulation (within the oral cavity) distinguishes different nasal consonants from one another.
		The alveolar nasal is the one at the beginning and end of the word none; it is symbolized by /n/, so the pronunciation of none is written /n^n/.

	Linguistique UNIL - Nasal plosives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The nasal "plosives" of the vast majority of the world's languages are voiced.
		During the production of these nasal "occlusives", the soft palate is lowered to a greater or lesser extent, allowing a portion of the airstream to pass through the nasal cavity.
		But as the soft palate is lowered (to allow air to flow through the nasal cavity), the tongue's movement is more important for the nasal than for the oral sound.

		Nasal sounds are produced similar to how stop sounds are produced, but with an exception of air being released through nose instead of mouth.
		There are six nasals in Tamil and each of them is produced at the same place where the corresponding stop consonants are produced.
		The former is called alveolar lateral and the latter is called retroflex lateral.

	The International Phonetic Alphabet
		Dentals, alveolar and postalveolar consonants use the same symbols except for fricatives: if necessary, diacritics can be used to mark them apart; the standard version is alveolar (though in my opinion, the approximant used to mark the English ‘r’ (lowercase turned r, number 151) is distinctly postalveolar, even slightly retroflex).
		Nasals and approximants are voiced (except when whispered), because it is hard to hear them when they are not: a laminar (the opposite of turbulent) flow of air not accompanied by a vibration of the vocal cords is all but inaudible.
		alveolar nasal before a velar plosive; sometimes it replaces both segments in one: so it is often written ‘ng’.

		The alveolar stops, which by rights should have two tails, one as a part of the core symbol and because they are stops, are reverses of the corresponding fricative, giving them a tail where they should have one (on the left), and a stem where the tail is in the core symbol (on the left).
		Nasal (stop) sounds are made by completely blocking the passage of air through the mouth with the tongue, and making a sound through the nose.
		Alveolar consonants are made with the tip of the tongue touching (or almost touching) the alveolar ridge.

	VIEW ROA 670
		To cope with this unexpected behavior of nasal consonants, some linguists have proposed that coronal is the unmarked place in the syllable onset, but velar is the unmarked place in the coda (Trigo 1988).
		The patterns exhibited by implosive nasals in Spanish dialects are pertinent to this debate because both coronal and velar place behave as though they were the unmarked specification for nasal consonants in the coda.
		Data from five different Spanish dialects support the view that coronal is the unmarked place even in the syllable coda, and that the tendency of implosive nasals to become velar is not a consequence of assigning them an unmarked place articulator but of reducing their degree of consonantality.

		In cases where a nasal follows a stop at the same place of articulation (homorganic), the stop consonant is not release orally, instead the release occurs when the velum lowers (called nasal plosion, as in hidden, chutney)
		Nasals can be used as syllable nucleii, which is indicated in transcription by the syllabic mark.

		English stops, affricates, and nasals (other than the marginal glottal stop) appear at four places of articulation: bilabial (/p/, /b/, /m/), alveolar (/t/, /d/, /n/), postalveolar (/c/, /j/), and velar (/k/, /g/, /η/).
		Spanish and Japanese also have stops and affricates at four different positions, and three of these are roughly the same as for English, but alveolar is replaced by dental place of articulation, that is, with the tongue tip against the upper teeth rather than against the alveolar ridge.
		It is conventional to symbolize the alveolar trill with a double /r/.

		Description: This sound is formed about the same way /b/ is, except that the soft palate is lowered and a continuous stream of voiced air escapes through the nasal cavity.
		Description: A closure is formed between the tip of the tongue and the alveolar ridge while the vocal cords vibrate, the same as for /d/, but the soft palate is lowered so that a continuous flow of voiced air escapes through the nasal cavity.
		Description: This sound is similar to /g/ in its voicing and velar articulation, but different in its escape through the nasal cavity because the soft palate remains lowered during its articulation.

		For example, we can create a symbol for the voiceless alveolar nasal stop by placing the voiceless diacritic (a circle) underneath the symbol for a the voiced alveolar nasal stop, [n].
		It is possible to specify that a sound is dental or postalveolar using the dental diacritic or the retracted diacritic (an underline).
		English would use alveolar stops, French would use dental stops, but none of the familiar languages would use both in a way that could change the meaning of a word.
