        I pronounce them as prenasalized voiced stops where the nasalised part is
more important than the stop part. '~b' is something between /mb/ and /m/,
where /m/ and /b/ are pronounced at the same time. Don't forget the people
speaking Tj'a-ts'a~n are not humans (even if human-like), and their mouth
and nose are a little different than ours.
