Nasal Coda
Linked via "nasal passage"
Acoustic Correlates and Perception
Acoustically, nasal codas are defined by the presence of low-frequency resonance poles, or nasal formants ($\text{N}1, \text{N}2$), introduced by the coupling between the oral cavity and the nasal passage. The relative damping of higher-frequency formants ($\text{F}1, \text{F}2$) of the preceding vowel is also characteristic.

Palate
Linked via "nasal passage"
Cleft Palate
A cleft palate results from the failure of the palatal shelves to fuse during embryonic development, leaving an opening between the oral cavity and nasal cavities. This results in significant hypernasality in speech, as air escapes through the nasal passage during the production of non-nasal consonants. Furthermo…
