Topic-108: Nasals Nasal manners of articulation are commonly found in the languages of the world. Like stops, nasal can also occur voiced or voiceless (for example, in Burmese, Ukrainian and French) though in English and other most languages nasals are voiced. As voiceless nasals are comparatively rare, they are symbolized simply by adding the voiceless diacritic [ ̥ ] under the symbol for the voiced sound. There are no special symbols for voiceless nasals and it is written as ma combination of the letter for the voiced bilabial nasal and a diacritic indicating voicelessness.
