Relating to both the throat and the nose; describing a sound produced with throat and nasal resonance together.
From Latin guttur (throat) plus nasal (from Latin nasus 'nose'), a compound technical term used in linguistics and speech pathology.
A gutturonasal sound is what happens when you try to say a nasal consonant while pinching your nose—the sound tries to escape through the throat instead, which is rare in most languages but natural in some speech disorders.
