| description | The labiodental nasal stop is almost never contrastive in the world's
languages and is typically only found as a predictable nasal consonant allophone
before labiodentals /f v/. Here we present the results of a detailed survey of so called Angami Naga languages spoken in northeast India and show that the
presence of a labiodental nasal is characteristic of these—both as an allophone with
an unusual distribution but also in some cases as a phoneme. There is also detailed
discussion of the labiodental nasal's historical development and evolution. |
