English Language & Usage Asked on May 25, 2021
I am wondering if the same phenomenon occurs in English, as described here in Spanish: https://spanish.stackexchange.com/q/37916/11155.
Q: Why did the Latin coemeterium change into cementerio* in Spanish, where does the n come from?
A: (@Charlie) The origin of that middle -n- is due mostly to a prolongation of the nasalization produced by the previous -m-.
which I understand that once the velum is lowered, it takes some time to return back and the "momentum" influences the pronunciation even of the next vowel.
Is there a phenomenon like this also in English? Can you provide examples?
