This paper examines some aspects of nasalization in Nkonya, a Guang language spoken in the mid-part of Volta Region of Ghana, by the use of the framework of autosegmental phonology. It specifically examines the important role of the syllable in explaining the phenomenon of nasalization and also tentatively postulates that the feature [+nasal] is in the process of getting extinct in Nkonya.
