 | | Perhaps Tolkien's idea is that these consonants were at some stage palatalized following i. | | | Such forms are difficult to justify historically; maybe Tolkien meant -ol to have spread to the consonant stems by analogy with the more numerous A-stems. | | | Where the nasal infix intruded before these unvoiced consonants, and no other ending followed, their original unvoiced quality persisted. |

| | Nasal consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | [ɱ] is a voiced labiodental nasal (SAMPA: [ | | | 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. | | | However, several of the Chimakuan, Salish, and Wakashan languages surrounding Puget Sound, such as Quileute, Lushootseed, and Makah, are truly without any nasalization at all, in consonants or vowels, except in special speech registers such as baby-talk or the archaic speech of mythological figures (and perhaps not even that in the case of Quileute). |

| | This means that all English vowels have a nasalized (at least to some degree) allophone, which occurs when the vowels precede a nasal consonant. | | | This means that there is no need to record the vowel's nasalization in the lexicon; this is a general property of the phoneme /æ/. | | | As described when we discussed consonant voicing and voice onset time, the /t/ in till is aspirated. |

| | Lateral consonant |
| | Rarer lateral consonants include the sound of Welsh ll, which is a voiceless lateral fricative, and the retroflex laterals as can be found in most Hindustani languages. | | | The other variant, so-called dark [l] (found before consonants or word-finally as in bold or tell), is pronounced with the tongue assuming a spoon-like shape and its back part raised, which gives the sound an [u]-like resonance. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | It is argued that, in Spanish, vowels followed by a nasal consonant are targeted as oral and are nasalized as a result of a coarticulatory effect, whereas, in American English, vowels are targeted as nasalized as a result of a phonological rule. |

| | Language Log: Do you wish to use Hmoob? |
| | 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. | | | That means (or so thought the people like William Smalley who analyzed the language) that some consonant letters are surplus to requirements: there is no need for any syllable-final uses of the letters b, d, g, j, s, or v. | | | But it comes at the cost of having Hmong look like Hmoob, which to me, I must admit, looks completely wroob. |

| | History of French Language |
| | 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. | | | 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. |
