What does nasalizing mean?
The process of changing the quality of a vowel sound by the presence of nasal resonance, typically by the lowering of the velum, allowing air to escape through the nasal cavity.
Example
"The pronunciation of the word 'sing' can be nasalized in some dialects, resulting in a distinct sound."
