Abstract
In No Lae Palaung, a northern Mon-Khmer language of the Austroasiatic language family, nasals are denasalized in word final position. This paper investigates the phonetic realization of denasalized final nasal consonants in Palaung dialect spoken in No Lae village, northern Thailand. Based on acoustic evidence, it has been demonstrated that denasalized final nasal consonants in No Lae Palaung are realized by stops with voiced homorganic nasal release, which exhibit voicing variation during the moment of oral closure due to the preceding vowel duration.
