Bulgarian vs English vs German vowel nasalization

Bulgarian seem to nasalize vowels after a nasal consonant "не", "ме" American English and Standard German seem to nasalize vowels in front of the nasal consonant: american "in" american "on" German "bahn" Compare to American “not” not nasal American “ma” not nasal This also explains why americans often say prints instead of prince, and cents instead of sense. The velum closes right after the nasal consonant, resulting in a moment of “n with velum closed” which causes the slight “t” sound before the s. In bulgarian, we can pronounce “ns” without inserting a t, because our s is actually nasalisend, alhough that cant be heard American is generally nasalizes more British english also generally nasalizes before the consonant, but semms like educated speech (rp) doesnt follow this rule TODO: fix, add “dn” not in english source: A CROSS-LINGUISTIC TYPOLOGY OF NASAL HARMONY http://roa.rutgers.edu/files/405-0800/roa-405-walker-3.pdf
