TOPIC: Nasal Sounds /m/, /n/,/ŋ/
Nasal sounds are produced as a result of lowering of soft Palate which blocks the oral cavity and makes the airflow to 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.”
