This is so wonderful. As a former BA student, not currently in school, it makes me so happy to see this sort of thing. I get all warm and fuzzy inside thinking about my days in Phonetics class, learning about glottal stops, ejectives, lateral fricatives.. ah yes. Keep on writing this stuff! It's awesome. Yay!

It seems to be a characteristic of first generation Jewish persons, and I always assumed it had to do with a carryover, possibly from Yiddish. But I have a schooltime friend who is a first generation Italian, a lifetime resident of New York City, Now that I see her infrequently, I am aware of her pronounced use of the same glottal stop. Would that be an acquired use , resulting from surrounding speakers? I have never noticed it in orhers of Italian parents.

Of course it is also possible to pronounce them with a glottal stop (and syllabic /n/). Slawek Hi,
