Nasals

Nasals are sounds produced by completely blocking airflow in the mouth while allowing air to pass through the nose. The soft palate (velum) lowers to open the nasal passage, giving these sounds their characteristic resonance. In English, the nasal sounds are /m/, /n/, and /ŋ/ (as in "sing"). All nasal sounds in English are voiced, meaning the vocal cords vibrate during production.
