^ a b Like Italian, the nasals always assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant. Thus, the n in /nɡ/, /nk/ is a velar [ŋ ] , the realization before /v/ or /f/ is a labiodental [ɱ ] (though this is transcribed here as [m ] ), and only [m ] is ever found before /p/ or /b/ .
