The History of Nasalization
The last super segmental I wanted to talk about was nasalization, the one that I know Bianca loves so much. So nasalization usually comes from a historical coda nasal or what? I think probably yeah. In Navajo, nasal vowels become normal oral vowels followed by an N when followed by a suffix that starts with a vowel. Oh, wow. That sounds like very similar to what happens with French liaison,. Yes, except backwards. It's not pretty okay.
