Keywords:
Phonological processes, homorganic nasal assimilation, nasal deletion, Ganda law, Kiswahili.Abstract
This paper discusses four phonological processes that are evident in Standard Kiswahili nasal consonants. The natural
generative phonological theory (NGP) has been used in the analysis of the various processes. Both formal and general
rules have been posited for each of the processes in order to show the environments under which they occur.
