'''Nasal Vowels'''<br /> | '''Nasal Vowels'''<br /> | ||
The nasal vowels do not occur except before a fricative and in word-final position. When nasal vowels appear before plosives and affricates, they indicate an oral vowel followed by a nasal consonant homorganic with the following consonant. Before /l/ or /w/, the nasality is lost altogether and the phonemes are pronounced as oral vowels. | The nasal vowels do not occur except before a fricative and in word-final position.
