Maybe slightly, but I'm not even sure of that. Anyway, I don't nasalise vowels after a normal nasal like /m/, so I don't do that either with those nasalised stops like ~b. It may be due to the fact that I'm French and that we control rather well nasalisation in our native language :) . Christophe Grandsire |Sela Jemufan Atlinan C.G.
