Adjective
/lɪŋɡuəˈneɪzəl/
"Linguonasal" refers to a particular type of sound that is produced with the involvement of both the tongue (lingual) and the nasal cavity. It is often used in the context of phonetics and linguistics to describe the articulation of certain sounds.
"Linguonasal" is not a commonly used term in everyday language. It is primarily used in academic and specialist contexts, particularly in linguistic discussions or studies. As such, it is more frequently encountered in written form, particularly in journals, articles, and textbooks related to phonetics and linguistics, rather than in oral speech.
The concept of linguonasal sounds can be complex for students unfamiliar with phonetics.
(Концепция лингвонозальных звуков может быть сложной для студентов, незнакомых с фонетикой.)
In some languages, linguonasal articulation is a key feature of their phonetic systems.
(В некоторых языках лингвонозальная артикуляция является ключевой особенностью их фонетических систем.)
Phonetic transcriptions often include symbols for both linguonasal and other types of sounds.
(Фонетические транскрипции часто включают символы для лингвонозальных и других типов звуков.)
While "linguonasal" is a specialized term without widely recognized idiomatic expressions, I will provide some phonetically related idioms as examples that involve voice or sound pivotal to linguistics.
Lost in translation.
(Потерянный в переводе.) - This phrase refers to the difficulties and misunderstandings that can occur between different languages, which may include issues with sounds or pronunciations.
Speak the same language.
(Говорить на одном языке.) - This idiom means to have a mutual understanding or agreement, not limited to linguistic terms.
Cat got your tongue?
(Кошка съела твой язык?) - This expression is used when someone is at a loss for words or is unexpectedly quiet, relating to speech.

The word "linguonasal" is derived from two Latin roots: - "lingua," meaning "tongue," and - "nasalis," meaning "of the nose" or "nasal."
The combination reflects the dual characteristics of the sounds it describes, bridging both the articulatory function of the tongue and the resonance of the nasal cavity.
Synonyms:
- Nasal (in some contexts, since it pertains to sounds produced with nasal resonance)
Antonyms:
- Oral (in reference to sounds produced only with the mouth without nasal resonance)
- Non-nasal
