Mvskoke Words with Nasalized Vowels

Nasalized vowels are pronounced with air flowing through both the mouth and nose. One way to check if you are pronouncing a vowel nasally is to hold your nose while saying the vowel sound. If the sound changes or feels blocked, you are likely pronouncing the vowel in a nasalized way. If the sound remains the same as you speak the word, you are likely not pronouncing the vowel in a nasalized way.

In Mvskoke, nasalized vowels are marked with special diacritics: ą, ę̄, ǫ, ų, v̨, į. This collection helps practice recognizing and pronouncing these important sounds. The words and recordings were gathered using the online webonary dictionary (as mentioned in citations).
