| Citazioni | As soon as the soft palate is lowered [...] and the nose added as a participating resonance chamber, the sounds b and a take on a peculiar 'nasal' quality and become, respectively, m and the nasalized vowel written as in French ( eg. 'sang', 'tant' ). Practically all sounds [..] may be nasalized, not only the vowels - nasalized vowels are common in all parts of the world - but such sounds as 'l' or 'z'. |
