'an' is relatively widespread, especially with the [ã] pronounciation. However, 'an' has no phonetic feature in common with 'une' and a central one with 'un': it also consists of just a nasal vowel. Depending on the variety of French ('un' is also pronounced [ɛ̃], especially in metropolitan French), 'eune' combines the vowel rounding of 'un' and the final nasal consonant [n] of 'une'. | |||
