/a/ and /o/, being the most sonorous vowels have the least change besides nasalization. /e/ can be pronounced like a schwa (such as English ''creati'''o'''n'') in unstressed position. /e/ with a nasal coda causes a loss of the nasal consonant. This leads to an articulation like [ẽtẽdẽmos] for ''entendemos''. Note that vowels followed by nasals are also affected, but within words the consonant is still articulated if it is the onset | /a/ and /o/, being the most sonorous vowels have the least change besides nasalization. /e/ can be pronounced like a schwa (such as English ''creati'''o'''n'') in unstressed position, but this pronunciation is optional and varies regionally. /e/ with a nasal coda causes a loss of the nasal consonant.
