Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyponasality is a condition where there is a lack of nasal resonance in speech. This means that sounds that should be nasalized, such as nasal consonants, are affected the most. Vowels and fricative consonants do not rely on nasal resonance, while hyponasality can affect the production of stop consonants, it does not affect them the most. Therefore, the best answer is C, nasal consonants.
