Well, phonetically they are: they fit the definition of stops that the oral airstream must be stopped at some point of articulation. But since for them the nasal airstream is open, they sound rather continuant and are used that way. Still, phonetically they are stops :)) .

Well, I always delete posts once replied (unless I want to keep them for one reason or another, like I've done so far for the vocabulary posts), but that's only because my mailbox has a limited size and the archive is there anyway :)) .
