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.

Phonological processes, homorganic nasal assimilation, nasal deletion, Ganda law, Kiswahili.
