Detailed explanation-1: -Introduction. A nasal consonant is a consonant whose production involves a lowered velum and a closure in the oral cavity, so that air flows out through the nose. Examples of nasal consonants are [m], [n], and [ŋ] (as in think and sing).
Detailed explanation-2: -The nasal sounds m, n, and ng are made by blocking sounds from the mouth with the lips or tongue. Air is then expelled entirely through the nose. Sounds in which the air is expelled through both the mouth and nose are classified as nasal sounds.
Detailed explanation-3: -The vast majority of consonants are oral, such as, for example [p], [w], [v] and [x]. The others are nasal, such as the nasal occlusives [m] or [ɲ].
Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of nasals in English are [n], [ŋ] and [m], in words such as nose, bring and mouth. Nasal occlusives are nearly universal in human languages.
