Description

When a ㄴ, ㄹ, or ㅁ interacts with other consonants, sometimes it undergoes "nasalization." Nasalization basically means it forces another consonant (and/or itself in the case of the ㄹ) to become a nasal sound (ㄴ, ㅇ, or ㅁ).

Cases

  • ㄱ/ㄲ/ㅋ + ㄴ/ㄹ → ㅇ + ㄴ
  • ㄱ/ㄲ/ㅋ + ㅁ → ㅇ + ㅁ
  • ㅇ + ㄹ → ㅇ + ㄴ
  • ㅎ + ㄴ → ㄴ + ㄴ
  • ᆮ/ᇀ/ᆺ/ᆻ/ᆽ/ᆾ + ㄴ/ㄹ → ㄴ + ㄴ
  • ᆮ/ᇀ/ᆺ/ᆻ/ᆽ/ᆾ + ㅁ → ㄴ + ㅁ
  • ᆸ/ᇁ + ㄴ/ㄹ → ㅁ + ㄴ
  • ㅁ + ㄹ → ㅁ + ㄴ
  • ᆸ/ᇁ + ㄴ/ㄹ → ㅁ + ㅁ
