Question

Human speech sounds produced with the air passing through the nose are called:

• A. Nasal sounds
• B. Glottal sounds
• C. Palatal sounds
• D. Lateral sounds

Hint:

Nasal sounds are produced when the airflow passes through the nose rather than the mouth.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Nasal sounds are produced when air flows through the nasal cavity, which occurs as the soft palate (velum) lowers, allowing air to exit via the nose. Examples include /m/, /n/, and //.
