| The posterior edges of the nasals are rounded and blunt, and do not narrow to a slender point as they do in H. gregarius. |
|
| The area corresponding to the lacrimals, prefrontals and posterior nasals is difficult to recognise. |
|
| Not surprisingly, there is also evidence that verbs ending in nasals can be subject to the influence of analogies with derived verbs. |
|
| These consonants are generally referred to as nasal consonants or nasals. |
|
| While sonorants are usually retained, liquid sonorants often vocalize, and nasals assimilate to a following consonant or velarize. |
|
| The neurocranium contains the anterior-most part of the frontals, lateral ethmoids, nasals, and posterior parts of the prenasals. |
|
| Tamil consonants are presented as hard, soft and medial in some grammars which roughly corresponds to plosives, nasals and approximants. |
|
| There are bilabial and coronal nasals, with homorganic variants with all the obstruants. |
|
| Elamite commonly dropped nasals before consonants and presumably nasalized the preceding vowel. |
|
| Lengthened fricatives, nasals, laterals, approximants and trills are simply prolonged. |
|
| The nasals are normally assimilated to the place of articulation of a following consonant. |
|
| Voice plays a primary role in the differentiation of most consonants including the nasals but excluding the plosives. |
|
| See Neutralization and archiphonemes below, particularly the example of the occurrence of the three English nasals before stops. |
|
| Sonorants are sounds such as vowels and nasals that are voiced in most of the world's languages. |
|
| Nonetheless, the phonetic and phonemic definitions would still conflict for the syllabic el in table, or the syllabic nasals in button and rhythm. |
|
| Some speech sounds, both vowels and consonants, involve release of air flow through the nasal cavity, and these are called nasals or nasalized sounds. |
