Homorganic nasals are usually considered to be phonemically what they are phonetically, except for velars, which do not have any homorganic phoneme. This occurrence, written '''l''', is considered to be {{IPA|/n/}} by some linguists and {{IPA|/ɴ/}} by others. A minority view considers to be {{IPA|/ɴ/}} only those instances formed by saṃdhi through a morpheme which originally had {{IPA|/m/}} and are written '''ṃ'''. Both '''l'''+velar and '''ṃ'''+velar are pronounced the same in all contemporary Chlouvānem pronunciations, but likely not in Classical Chlouvānem.<br/>Linguists analyzing the pronunciation of Lake Lūlunīkam and the Southern Jade Coast, plus the southern side of the Nīmbaṇḍhāra delta, consider this to be {{IPA|/ɴ̆/}}, as in those pronunciations it is not the nasal element to be made velar, but the stop element to be made uvular: | Homorganic nasals are usually considered to be phonemically what they are phonetically, except for velars, which do not have any homorganic phoneme.
