 | | This is the case in English: vowels preceding nasal consonants are nasalized, but there is no phonemic distinction between nasal and oral vowels (and all vowels are considered phonemically oral). |
| | In contrast, nasal vowels in French or Portuguese are transitional, where the velum ends up constricting the mouth airway. |
| | In the International Phonetic Alphabet, nasal vowels are denoted by a tilde over the symbol for the vowel, as in Portuguese. |
