Final nasals

The subject of the developments undergone by the word-final nasals in the Suriname creoles is a complex one. We will merely mention here that all three languages allow for a final /VN/ combination to be pronounced as a nasalized vowel, as in one of the substrate groups – the Gbe languages. However, from a phonological point of view there is a lot to be said for analyzing these as underlying sequences in all three languages.

 

In Sranan in particular the more normal pronunciation is with a vowel (nasalized or not) followed by a velar nasal [ŋ].
