  LINGUIST List 7.860: palatal nasals
SUMMARY: palatal nasals A while ago I asked for examples of languages with word-final palatal nasals that contrast with alveolar and velar nasals.
MIT.EDU Catalan (though unfortunately not a Sino-Tibetan lg.) contrasts word-final palatal nasals (spelled *ny* in the standard orthography) with alveolar, velar, and labial (which you didn't mention) nasals --all of which appear plentifully i n common native words.
The only qualification is that the velar nasal in phonetic representations is from underlying Nas plus velar obstruent (the latter deleted in word-final position but not before a V); the labial, palatal, and alveolar nasals are all underlying.

The symbol ɲ should not be confused with ɳ, the symbol for the retroflex nasal, which has a rightward-pointing hook extending from the bottom of the right stem or with ŋ, the symbol for the velar nasal, which has a leftward-pointing hook extending from the bottom of the right stem.
Its place of articulation is palatal which means it is articulated with the middle or back part of the tongue raised against the hard palate.

 Frequently Asked Questions About Snoring
Nasal surgery may include improving the nasal airway by straightening the nasal septum (mid line nasal cartilage partition), shrinking the lining tissue of the nose, particularly where this has been troubled by allergy or by the removal of nasal polyps.
Surgery of the palate is variously painful dependant on the procedure and on the patient's individual pain thresholds or ability to withstand discomfort.
Nasal surgery generally gives a permanent improvement where this is sufficient to contribute to control of snoring.

 BDJ | Palatal and nasal necrosis resulting from cocaine misuse
The mechanism is thought to be the intense vasoconstriction caused by the cocaine, which causes necrosis of the affected tissues associated with chondritis and osteomyelitis of the exposed cartilage and bone.
The thickening of the nasal sill prior to septal perforation in the current case was probably a manifestation of underlying chondritis.
Thus, lack of deterioration of the palatal defect with no evidence of soft tissue necrosis or bone and cartilage sequestration may be a good indicator of a halt in cocaine use.

Palatal congenital defects result from the lack of fusion of the palatal shelves of the maxillary bone during embryologic development.
Congenital palatal defects may not be detected until the slow growth of one of the puppies is noticed.
In cats with palatal disjunction, if the palatal shelves are not too spread apart following the injury, the vomer bone and nasal structures located underneath may help in retaining the blood clot and healing may occur whether or not sutures have been placed on the mucoperiosteum.

 ACVC 2001 - Palatal Surgery
Palatal surgery in dogs and cats can be subdivided into several different categories including: management of oronasal/oroantral fistulas, management of congenital and acquired palatal defects and the ventral approach to the nasal cavity and nasopharynx through the palate.
Cleft soft palatal defects are repaired using a double flap technique in which incisions are made along the medial margin of the palatal cleft on each side.
The edge of the repaired soft palate should reach the midpoint or caudal end of the tonsils and oppose the tip of the epiglottis when the tongue is in normal position.

 Polish language - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
Unlike those in French, the nasal vowels in Polish are asynchronous, which means that in fact each nasal vowel is pronounced as an oral vowel followed by a nasal semivowel, or a nasal vowel followed by a nasal semivowel, for example ą [ɔɰ̃] rather than [ɔ̃].
Palatal consonants (known to Poles as "soft" consonants) are marked either by an acute accent or followed by an i.
All palatal and alveolo-palatal consonants (that is ź ś dź ć ń j) as well as those preceding the vowel i are referred to as "soft" consonants.

 Palatal surgery
The palate, or roof of the mouth, is the major noisemaker during sleep.
The fluttering that results from the end of the palate and uvula (the little flipper that hangs down from the middle of the end of the palate) results in the typical guttural noise that we recognize as snoring.
Palate surgery is therefore frequently successful in eliminating or significantly reduce snoring, but not necessarily in curing OSAS by itself.

 The International Phonetic Alphabet
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.
Present participles ending in ‘ng’ are pronounced with a plain velar nasal, as is (consequently) the word “singer”, whereas in the words “finger” or “English”, the ‘ng” combination is a velar nasal followed by a velar plosive.
glottal nasal, because the communication between the throat and the nose is at the back of the soft palate, and pharyngeals andal are articulated even further back in the throat (so that blocking the flow of air there will block it even for the nose).

 Palatal consonant - QuickSeek Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Palatal consonants are consonants articulated with the body of the tongue raised against the hard palate (the middle part of the roof of the mouth).
True palatal stops are relatively uncommon, so it is a good idea to verify the pronunciation whenever you see in the transcription of a language.
For example, English [ʃ;] (spelled sh) has such a palatal component, although its primary articulation involves the tip of the tongue and the upper gum (this type of articulation is called palatoalveolar).

 Nasal consonant information - Search.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
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.

This may, in turn, have been caused by narrowness of the nasal passage causing turbulent or irregular air flow which contributes to the fluttering of the soft palate.
Newer procedures for more severe forms of snoring including radiowave shrinkage of the back of the tongue as well as procedures to bring the tongue tissues forward may be of assistance in selected cases.The removal of excess neck fat through liposuction or liposhaving techniques may contribute to assisting the control of snoring in some cases.
Where nasal airflow difficulties contribute to snoring, then nasal surgery alone may cure or significantly improve the symptoms in 30% of snoring patients.

After closure of a cleft palate by means of the classic techniques, in which vomerine mucosa is used to reconstitute the nasal layer of the secondary palate, the vomer and the palatal shelves are joined by a tight, unyielding, fibrous scar, which seemingly prevents normal sutural activity.
In palatal clefts, the primordial role of the palatal maxillary fibromucosa in the transverse and vertical development of the vault is adversely affected by the classic surgical techniques of palatoplasty, in which lateral palatal flaps are medially displaced to the summit of the vault.
