	Nasal consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A nasal consonant is produced when the velum—that fleshy part of the palate near the back—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.

	Nasal consonant
		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).
		[ɲ] voiced palatal nasal (SAMPA [J]); is an usual sound in European languages as in: Spanish ñ; or French and Italian gn; or Catalan and Hungarian ny; or Portuguese nh.
		In IPA, nasal vowels are indicated by placing a tilde (~) over the vowel in question.

	Linguistique UNIL - Nasal plosives
		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.

	Sotho Information Center - sotho assegai
		Nasalisation is a phonetic phenomenon which occurs under certain circumstances (most notably with personal and reflexive verbs) where the beginning consonant of a word is transformed into another under the influence of a (usually invisible) nasal consonant or a high palatal (the vowel i - when forming reflexive verbs).
		By the nasal "at the same sotho tswana traditional god approximate position as" I mean that pronounced with the tongue touching the roof of the mouth at more or less the same place as when pronouncing the consonant.
		When a nasal is immediately followed by another consonant with no vowel betwixt them, the nasal will change to a nasal in the same approximate position as the following consonant, after the consonant has undergone nasal permutation.

	HLW: Word Forms: Units: Consonants 1
		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 bilabial nasal is the one at the beginning and end of the word mom; it is symbolized by /m/, so the pronunciation of mom is written /mαm/.
		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/.

		Since nasals are always continuous, not abrupt, it seems strange to call them stops, though strictly the definition of stops given above allows it.
		Laterals are "L"-like consonants pronounced with an occlusion made somewhere along the axis of the tongue, while air from the lungs escapes at one side or both sides of the tongue.
		A bilabial trill (sometimes represented as "brrr...") can be made with both lips, but is hardly ever used as a speech segment (there are one or two examples of such use worldwide).

		Second row, L to R: = voiced interdental fricative = vocal cords are vibrating, so sound is voiced; tongue is between teeth, so sound is interdental; the only voiced interdental in English is this sound.

	Solution to Last Month's Mystery Spectrogram - Rob Hagiwara
		And the best guess is some kind of nasal, given the zero-ey quality of the upper frequencies.
		Its coronality may be indicated by the 1500 Hz pole that doesn't seem to belong in the otherwise bilabial nasal, or the apparent F2 transition (has anyone done an acoustic study of nasal-to-nasal coarticulation?).
		(Nasal is another possibility, but the formants are too well defined, I think.) F1 is just sitting there about 400 Hz, but the F2 is as low as my F2 ever gets, down there around 800 Hz.

	LING 101: Phonetics
		Nasals, liquids and some glides are usually voiced.
		For example, it is possible to make a voiceless bilabial oral fricative and a high back unrounded vowel, as in the name of the Japanese mountain [ɸɯǰi].
		The features for consonants and vowels can be combined also, to yield sounds such as nasalized vowels or fronted consonants.

	English Version
		Oral vowels are produced by air flowing through the mouth, and nasal vowels are produced by air flowing through the nose.
		The nasality is assumed to spread to the left.
		But if one of the roots used in a composite word does not have a major stress (as rõ (if)), nasality is assumed to spread from the tonic nasal syllable of the first root into the non-tonic syllable of the second root.

		The corresponding bilabial nasal is usually voiced as well.
		The corresponding palatal nasal palatale is usually voiced as well.
		The glottal stop is produced either by the suddent opening of the glottis under pressure from the air below, or by the abrupt closure of the glottis to block the airstream.

		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.

		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.
		In a number of words in Tamil these nasals and their corresponding stop sounds form a cluster.

		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/).
		In the bilabial place of articulation, it has stops and a nasal but no fricatives, though there are fricatives in the nearby labiodental place of articulation.
		Although other nasal consonants (/m/ and /n/) and other velar consonants (/k/ and /g/) can appear at the beginnings of syllables, English seems to constrain syllables to not begin with the phoneme /η/.

		The nasal version is indicated by following {nq}, as in such minimal pairs as {zunq} (alive) vs. {zu} (only), {bax} (zero) vs. {baxnq} (permission).

		In other words, nasality is allophonic not phonemic in clitics & affixes.

		It says that a segment standing in the position of the underline and which is a vowel ([+Vowel]), must change its nasality to [+Nasal] if a segment with [+Nasal] follows it.

		As a consequence, their speech sounds very nasalized and they have a tough time producing the non-nasal consonants of their language.
		There are three nasal stops in English: the bilabial nasal stop [m], the alveolar nasal stop [n], and the velar nasal stop [ng] (<--remember that this isn't the appropriate symbol for the velar nasal).
		For your exam, you want to be sure, for example, that you can identify [p] as a voiceless bilabial stop and that you can identify [m] as a voiced biliabial nasal or as a voiced bilabial nasal stop.
