I've been studying and speaking French for so long now, that I often nasalize some words, I notice that "sure" and "your" I end up nasalizing

This is also the case between "ain't" and "ate" for me. it also applies to other words like "can't" and "cat" but the vowel is also different in quality in can't

This is due to pre-nasal vowel raising!

Cool to see we do pronounce these vowels through the nose. Love your etymology facts. New sub

what dialect do you speak? as a new englander, i pronounce them the same, but i'm curious where they might be different

Yep I pronounce the exact same way as you! Very interesting.

Some call it a "stopped T" but it also causes the preceding vowel to be shortened. Car and Cart sound similar, but car is pronounced longer.

Personally I'd argue most dialects of English have somewhat phonemic* nasal vowels in words* like uh-huh, uh-uh, and aw(www)

@penguinlim 5 ай бұрын

I've been thinking this too! My speech as well seems to have Ṽ in place of VN in certain circumstances. more words: can't, android, lonesome, etc.

I also just realized i pronounce saint as [sɛɪ̯̃ʔ]. And even when im pronouncing the words slowly and carefully i still only say [sɛɪ̯nʔ]

I'd argue that instead of a distinction between phonemes, it's a distinction between allophones of phonemes.

@nicolasglemot6760 4 ай бұрын

Isn't that just the surface form rather than an underlying phoneme though? Like your nasal vowels could just be interpreted as allophonic realizations of vowels + /n/

@LoisoPondohva 3 ай бұрын

It's kinda like 4 though for me. At least, it's the analogy I find helpful. 4 can be expressed as 2*2 or 2+2. Both in this specific case mean the same. It's just a subjective choice of representation.

I notice it in "sun glasses." I wonder: do all "-ng" endings in English count as nasalizations?

@GreatGraniteState 4 ай бұрын

I have nasal vowels too dang Oh and in Saint I swallow the t and the n becomes nasal so it's like sãi' with a glottal stop for the t 😃

@chippysteve4524 4 ай бұрын

Somewhat off-topic but Is there an 'acceptable' explanation for why Brummies make a really unecessary "guh" sound whenever a word ends in -ng or do they just like to pretend that they've got a cold even when they haven't ;-)
