Subject: Re: nasal flaps?



No, nasal flaps are actually nasalized flaps, I suppose. In

American English they typically occur after a stressed vowel when a

nasal-initial alveolar cluster happens before another vowel. Standard

example is "wanna". They're flaps. And they're nasal. So what's the

problem?
