| | The voiceless stops are not generally as aspirated as Eng. | | | Although the combination `nc' (in, for example, yencwa) is not officially pronounced with a velar nasal, it's clear that increasingly a velar nasal is in fact used. | | | In a word of more than two syllables, if the last two vowels are next to each other with no consonants between them, the stress falls on the last syllable but two. |

| | Another way of expressing this is to claim that AAVE speakers cannot produce velar nasals because their ethnicity or physiology makes it impossible for them to do so. | | | Clearly, this claim is false, as the tables of data above show; as does the variable use of standard forms by AAVE speakers. | | | Therefore, we can say that the velar nasal in AAVE is also morphologically conditioned: it can only occur in certain grammatical categories (i.e., parts of speech) of words. |
