"Baybe his codculture is sufferig frob a cold epidebic! ;) Seriously,
Rotokas and a few other languages completely lack nasals, so it's not

Languages lacking nasals include some from the Pacific Northwest of the
US (First Nations, that is... *dot de locals, dough dey ofted hab
coldz*), Papuan (i.e non-Austronesian languages of New Guinea) and
others.

My conlang lost nasals when they went to voiced stops; however, later l
 > n. With epenthesis, there may or may not be minimal pairs of n and
other nasals.
