122 Nasal vowels
This feature is described more fully in
chapter 122.
Summary
This feature concerns nasal vowels, which are generally written with "n" or "m" following the vowel letter. Nasal vowels are said to be present in a prominent way if there are nasal vowels as major allophones in at least three different heights (e.g. ĩ, ɛ̃, ã). Otherwise, they are said to be present in a limited way. (Nasal vowels are also the topic of WALS feature 10, by John Hajek.)
