How to distinguish anterior nasal and posterior nasals, and how to distinguish anterior and posterio

When pronouncing the pre-nasal sound, the vowels in front of -n are generally pronounced in the front part, such as: an, en, in the pronunciation of a, e are relatively forward, pronounced as the front a, e is pronounced as the middle e, i is originally the tip of the tongue before the vowel, the pronunciation is in front, in the process of vowel pronunciation, the tip of the tongue is gradually raised up and the upper gums form an obstruction, so that the airflow from the anterior nasal cavity is formed, forming the anterior nasal. The anterior nasal sound should not be pronounced too wide in the mouth to avoid airflow backward into the posterior nasal cavity.

The pronunciation of posterior nasal sounds such as ang, eng, ing, the pronunciation of the front vowel is backward, and the pronunciation of a is originally a backward vowel, and the vowels a and e are first retracted at the same time as the back is pronounced, and then the parabola rises, so that the tongue heel and the soft palate form an obstruction, so that the airflow enters the nasal cavity from the posterior oral cavity and emits a posterior nasal sound. i is the anterior vowel of the tip of the tongue, which is pronounced in front, so when pronouncing ing, the heel of the tongue is pulled back at the same time as the i is pronounced, so that the heel of the tongue and the soft palate can be obstructed, resulting in posterior nasal resonance.

Mandarin nasal vowels can be divided into two categories: those with a nasal "n" at the tip of the tongue, which are generally called "anterior nasalax finals", and those with a nasal "ng" at the base of the tongue, which are generally called "posterior nasal vowels".

n, apical medium, voiced, nasal. When pronouncing, the tip of the tongue is pressed against the upper gums, the soft palate descends, opening the nasal passage, and the airflow vibrates.

There are 16 Nasal Finals in Mandarin, namely an, ian, uan, üan, en, in, uen, ün, ang, iang, uang, eng, ing, ueng, ong, and iong.

Mandarin clearly distinguishes between -n and -ng as two sets of finals. The finals formed by -n are called anterior nasal finals, and the finals formed by -ng are called postnasal finals.

Hello: First of all, to distinguish the pronunciation of -n and -ng correctly. -n is a nasal sound on the tip of the tongue, which is pronounced with the tip of the tongue against the upper gums to form a blockage, close the mouth, so that the airflow completely leaks out of the nasal cavity, and at the same time the vocal cords vibrate and produce a nasal sound.

ng is the posterior tip of the tongue (base of the tongue) nasal, and the pronunciation is the same as g, k, and h. When pronouncing, use the back of the tongue against the soft palate to allow air to flow out of the nasal cavity, while the vocal cords flutter and produce a nasal sound. When practicing, do not leave the soft palate behind the tongue to prolong the voice.

n and -ng are pronounced in the same way, but the main difference is the part of the pronunciation. When practicing, you should feel the blockage in different parts.

Secondly, when pronouncing consonants (nasal rhymes), the pronunciation process should be clear and complete. When pronouncing a specific nasal vowel, the transition from the pronunciation state of the vowel to the consonant should be clear; The closing consonant must reach the obstruction. For example, an and ang are pronounced.

First elongate the voice and pronounce a, do not interrupt, the tongue is calmly stretched forward, the tip of the tongue reaches the upper gums, and a nasal sound appears, that is, an; Similarly, when the elongated voice is pronounced a, the tongue is calmly raised backwards, and the posterior part of the tongue reaches the soft palate, and a nasal sound appears, which is ang.

There are some rules for spelling that can be memorized:

1, b, p, m, f spell eng not ong.

2. D, T, N, L Except for the word "tender", the rest of the Chinese characters are spelled with eng finals.

3. D, T, and N are all spelled with "ing" finals in addition to the word "you".

4. G, K, H except for the two types of phonetic characters "Gen" and "Ken" spell en finals, the rest of the Chinese characters are spelled with eng finals.

5. Z, C, S In addition to the three commonly used words of "how", "sand (difference)", and "sen", the rest are the words next to "Zeng", all spelling eng finals.

Generally speaking, if the phonetic word is the prenasal vowel, then this series of words is usually the prenasal vowel, and vice versa. For example, "Ling" is the back nasal vowel, and it is used as the shape and sound of the words "collar, zero, ling, ling, ring, ling, ling; "Ling" and so on are all post-nasal rhyme vowels.

In the middle of this note are some individual, such as "adjacent", only the nasal sound before it is pronounced.

For example, "Gen" is a pre-nasal sound, and a series of words composed of it next to the sound, such as "with, silver, yin, very, ruthless, hate, 佷" and so on are all pre-nasal words.

There are five anterior nasal vowels, i.e., an, en, in, un, ün, and posterior nasal vowels, ang, eng, ing, ong.

There are five prenasal vowels in Mandarin, namely an, en, in, un, and ün. There are four nasal vowels after the Qing Dynasty, namely ang, eng, ing, and ong. The anterior nasal vowel and the posterior nasal vowel are summarized as an, en, in, unwen, ün, ang, eng, ing, ong.

Nasal rhyme. Nasal rhyme, a Chinese word, pinyin is bí yùn mǔ, which is interpreted as the vowel of the nasal sound.

Chinese pinyin alphabet

23 initials:

b、p、m、f、d、t、n、l、g、k、h、j、q、x、zh、ch、sh、r、z、c、s、y、w。

24 finals:

There are 6 single vowels a, o, e, i, u, ü.

There are 9 complex initials: ai, ei, ui, ao, ou, iu, ie, üe, and er.

There are 5 anterior nasal finals: an, en, in, un, and ün.

There are 4 posterior nasal finals: ang, eng, ing, and ong.

There are a total of sixteen nasal rhymes.

The distinction is: the only n after the vowel is the prenasal.

Vowel. The one with ng after the vowel is a post-nasal sound.

Vowel. 8 anterior nasal vowels: an; ian；uan；üan；en；Slippery in; Slip to make a fuss; ün；

The posterior nasal vowel is also known as the posterior nasal vowel.

8: ang; iang；letter cover uang; eng；ing；ong；ueng；iong。

The ending of the prenasal sound is n, that is, the finals are the syllables of an, en, in, en, un, ün;

The rhyme end of the post-nasal sound is ng, that is, the finals are ang, eng, ing, ong syllables.

Pre-nasal sounds such as: dry, shouting, true, cause, person, shun, ask, group, money, group, election, forest, enter, god、......

Post-nasal sounds such as: Gang, Jiang, Pretend, Wait, Change, Weng, Ying, Xing, Red, Xiong、......

Ways to distinguish anterior and posterior nasals:

1. Practice tongue twister differentiation.

2. Comparative practice differentiation.

When practicing, find some nasal sounds before and after to compare them, such as "Wen" and "Weng", "Xin" and "Xing", etc.

3. It can also be classified and notated.

For example, "sleepy dingding", the corresponding "ding, staring, nailing, hall, top" are all nasal sounds in the later draft. And so on, the relevant biases can be followed in this way. If you can't distinguish the pronunciation of Chinese characters with finals an and ang, remember that all Chinese characters with the following sounds are generally pronounced nasal.
