Features
Features of the palatal nasal:
Its
manner of articulation
is
stop
, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract.
Its
place of articulation
is
palatal
which means it is articulated with the middle or back part of the
tongue
raised against the
hard palate
.
Its
phonation
type is voiced, which means the vocal cords are vibrating during the articulation.
It is a
nasal consonant
, which means air is allowed to escape through the nose.
It is a
central consonant
, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.
The
airstream mechanism
is
pulmonic egressive
, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the
lungs
and through the vocal tract, rather than from the
glottis
or the mouth.
