Nasal Consonants

Nasal consonants are pronounced by blocking the air with the place of articulation in the mouth and lowering the soft palate so that the air goes out through the nose. Although the air doesn't go out through the mouth when pronouncing nasal consonants, the mouth still affects the quality of the nasal consonants, by the distance between the place of articulation and the throat.
