Twang

Onomatopoeia describing the sound of a musical string being plucked

Twang is an onomatopoeia originally used to describe the sound of a vibrating bow string after the arrow is released. By extension, it applies to the similar vibration produced when the string of a musical instrument is plucked, and similar sounds. The term came to be applied to a nasal vocal resonation, and was historically used to describe "a disagreeable resonance". Later, however, the term came to be more broadly associated with regional dialects, to the extent that in some locations, "a twang is a desirable commodity".
