[edit] Nasalization patterns in English

Does anyone know the nasalization patterns in Am.E?

I've been thinking about this. I live in a French Territory and listening to English speakers speaking French, I get the impression that most English vowels are nasalised, to a greater or lesser degree. American more than English and Irish less than both.

[edit] Disambiguation

I think we need a disambiguation page for nasalisation because in celtic languages like Irish on of the initial mutations is commonly called nasalisation although it's technically more assimilation. Thoughts? Akerbeltz (talk) 22:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
