Nasals
The next group of words we will consider are the nasals. These sounds are produced by lowing the velum or soft palate, thereby allowing air to pass through and resonate in the nasal cavities.
Nasals [m n ng] طبعا الانق كتابتة مو كذا
each of the three nasal sounds has a different point of articulation: the [m] sound is ablatial nasal, formed with the two lips together;; [n] is an alveolar nasal, produced with the tip of the tongue touching the alveolar ridge; and [ngانق] is a velar nasal, with the back of the tongue mnking contact with the velum. Note the articulatory position for the annual [m], [n] and [ng] in this diagram.

Because the air stream is directed over one or both sides of the tongue, is called a lateral consonant In English may occur in initial, medial and final positions as in 'light' , 'caller' and 'tool' as well as in clusters: 'please', 'glad'.
The occurring initially and after a consonant as in 'leaf' and 'flower' is different in quality from the final and pre-consonantal as in 'fill' and 'build'. The
former is often called a 'light ' and the latter a 'dark . For the dark , the back of the tongue is raised in addition to having the tip make contact at the alveolar ridge.
Retroflex . The first and last sound of the word 'rare' is called a retroflex sound house it is produced by pressing the sides of the tongue against the upper molars and flexing the tip of the tongue up and back. The English , which is generally voiced, is sometimes called an open or vocalic sound because there is little obstruction of the air stream during its production. Note the articulatory positions for the liquids and in these diagrams.
