Pre-stopped nasal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pre-stopped nasals are phonetic sequences of stop plus nasal that behave phonologically like single consonant. That is, like affricates, the reasons for considering these sequences to be single consonants is in their behavior, not in their actual composition.
Pre-stopped nasals are found in some Australian Aboriginal languages and Macro-Ge languages.
