How can we tell apart different sonorant consonants - your [n]s and [m]s, [l]s and [ɹ]s? What do their sound waves look like? In this week's episode, we take a look at the acoustics of nasal and approximant consonants: how opening up your nose influences your speech, how close some consonants are to being vowels, and why it can be hard for some people to tell apart the English l and r. • This is Topic #80! • This week's tag language: Malagasy! • The spectrogram for [ɴ] didn't quite turn out how we would have liked, although the science behind it still fits.
