3.2.11.2. 没有 <span class="pho">ʊ</span>

<span class="pho">m</span> 和 <span class="pho">n</span> 处于音节开头时，没有人会觉得困难。尤其是 <span class="pho">m</span>…… 因为它也许是人类学会说的第一个辅音；于此同时，<span class="pho">ɑ</span> 永远是人类学会的第一个元音，所以大家都用 <span class="pho">mɑ</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/ma-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/ma-us-female.mp3"></span> 称呼自己的母亲。

<span class="pho">ŋ</span> 处于其它元音之后对所有人来说也同样不构成困难，因为英文中最常用的不过是 <span class="pho">ɪŋ</span> 而已……

麻烦在于 <span class="pho">m</span> 处于音节末尾的时候。很多人会不由自主地额外加上一个 <span class="pho">ʊ</span> 的音，这是一个嘴唇的多余动作产生的结果。比如，把 room <span class="pho alt">ruːm</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/room-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/room-us-female.mp3"></span> 读成 <span class="pho alt">ruːmʊ</span>。

3.2.11.3. 音变

当 <span class="pho">m/n</span> 处于 <span class="pho">f/v</span> 之前的时候，发音都会发生变化 —— 这是因为 <span class="pho">f/v</span> 的发声动作，需要上牙与下唇接触。

• <span class="pho">m + f/v</span> = <span class="pho">n + f/v</span>, comfort <span class="pho alt">ˈkəmfərt</span> → <span class="pho alt">ˈkənfərt</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/comfort-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/comfort-us-female.mp3"></span>
• <span class="pho">n + f/v</span> = <span class="pho">ŋ + f/v</span>, conversation <span class="pho alt">ˌkɑnvərˈseɪʃən</span> → <span class="pho alt">ˌkɑŋvərˈseɪʃən</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/conversation-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/conversation-us-female.mp3"></span>

3.2.11.4. 加音 <span class="pho">ᵊ</span>

当 <span class="pho">æ</span> 在 <span class="pho">m</span> 之前的时候，部分母语使用者会添一个 <span class="pho">ᵊ</span> 进去，比如，Sam <span class="pho alt">sæm</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/sam-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/sam-us-female.mp3"></span>，会被他们读成 <span class="pho alt">sæᵊm</span> —— 也有一定道理，因为 <span class="pho">m</span> 的确是音节辅音 —— 例如，chasm <span class="pho alt">ˈkæzm̩</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/chasm-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/chasm-us-female.mp3"></span>，相当于 <span class="pho alt">ˈkæzᵊm</span>, prism <span class="pho alt">ˈprɪzm̩</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/prism-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/prism-us-female.mp3"></span>，相当于 <span class="pho alt">ˈprɪzᵊm</span>。
