Re: [tied] The Portuguese sound /a~w/ (ão)

Some forms of Spanish have them --e.g. some Caribbean
regional and class accents where final /n/ first
becomes velar and then disappears nasalizing the
preceding vowels
Gaelic and Basque final palatal nasals problably
nasalize preceding vowels but I'm not a phonetics
expert
