TOPIC: Nasal Sounds /m/, /n/ and /ŋ/
Meaning of Nasal Sounds
Nasal sounds are produced as a result of the lowering of the soft Palate which blocks the oral cavity and makes the airflow escape through the noise. The nasal sounds are voiced because there is vibration in the vocal cords. The letter N is a nasal consonant sound, along with M and NG. The M and N and ng letters produce nasal sounds and are often studied together. Nasal means “produced by sending a stream of air through the nose.”
The Nasal Sounds
/m/ (mom, Mary, name)
/n/ (nine, name, Nancy)
/ŋ/ (sing, ring, long)
/m/ as in loom, move,lamp, hammer, mummy, etc.
