Regarding Romance languages which demonstrate phonemic
nasal vowels, only one is listed. The following are
omitted: Portuguese, Gascon, and Sardinian. The
latter two are not dialects of standard French and
Italian respectively; were dialects to be considered
as well, several come to mind. The most recent complete
treatment of the entire Romance family is Rodney
Sampson, Nasal Vowel Evoluction in Romance (Oxford,1999).
