Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA) is one of the methods of examining tongue movements. This technique is usually supported by audio recordings and may be supplemented by video data in order to analyze external articulator movements. In the research presented here, a new approach using a microphone array and synchronous video recordings is proposed and an examination of Polish nasal consonant is presented as an example of this novel method of analysis.
