Abstract
Disorders of nasality and nasal airflow present many problems for the team working with speech problems associated with cleft palate and palatal anomalies. Bzoch (1989) states that the concept of nasality must be restricted by definition. In this paper nasality and nasal airflow are described for clinical and research purposes, and developed for clinical analysis of speech disorders associated with atypical oro-nasal structure and function. Here nasality refers to perceived nasal resonance at a suprasegmental level and nasal airflow refers to audible nasal airflow perceived at a segmental level.
