Voiced alveolar nasal. When we pronounce this sound, the tip of the tongue, the active articulator, is in contact with the alveolar ridge, the passive articulator, they form a complete closure. The air cannot go out through the mouth. The velum is in its lowered position, so, the lung air goes out through the nasal cavity. The vocal folds vibrate during the production of this sound.

PronunciationThe soft palate is lowered and the vocal folds vibrate. The tip of the tongue and the alveolar ridge form an obstruction for the pulmonic air stream, which escapes through the nasal cavity. |
