What are the most common consonant clusters allowed in languages? I've
been trying to think of what english uses. It seems to have:
nasal + stop (at same place of articulation) eg went, wand, jump, mb
(can't think of a word offhand with that one in) For some reason we
don't have ngk or ngg... Although of course for some reason these
combinations don't occur at the beginning of words, just the end.
stop + approximant eg train plane
s + unvoiced stop + approximant eg splash string
What else? I'm trying to think... which patterns are most common?
