1)You said "the nasal". Which one? "m" or "n"?

2)I don't belive that the "m" before "p" is a gramatical rule imposed by
someone. The "mp" sounds simply romanian. You say about "np" used in
some subdialects. I do not intend to contradict you, I simply did not
heard it. My grand mother was never to school but she spooked too with
"mp" and not with "np".
