@nasal

The five nasal consonants are J ञ् m म् G ङ् N ण् n न्.

They are funny consonants.

See /zivasUtra.

These are always nasalized. TITS, a n न् has the same tongue position as d द् or t त्, but some air goes out of the nose. Therefore when sUtra yaronunAs... tells us to replace t त् d द् k क् g ग् with nasalized t त् d k क् g ग्, we get n न् n न् G ङ् G ङ्.
