Nasalisation is a term commonly used in linguistics to describe the phenomenon of nasal sounds in speech. Synonyms for the word include nasality, nasal quality, nasal tone, and nasal resonance. These terms are often used interchangeably and refer to the same concept - the presence of nasal sounds in speech.

Understanding nasalisation is an important aspect of language learning and speech analysis.
