Wapishana yes "Nasalization spreads to the right from a nasal vowel, carring through m, n, e w, but stopping just before any other consonant or before epenthetic a. The spread of nasalization crosses the border between prestem and stem." Santos, 2006:58
Wayuu yes All the words derived from eeju 'to smell' have nasalization all across the word, but nasalization isn't phonemic. Mansen, 1967: p. 58, Mansen, Richard A. and Karis Mansen. (1984). Aprendamos Guajiro. SIL
Tariana yes The domain of nasalization is phonological word, incl. any affixes, (not sure about clitics) and is probably due to Tucano influence Aikhenvald 2003: 42

Desano yes spreads to the right. only suffixes unmarked for nasality, and it is blocked by inherently oral vowels or consonants Miller 1999, p. 13
Cubeo yes spreads to the right. only suffixes unmarked for nasality, and it is blocked by inherently oral vowels or consonants. Nasal spreading is also blocked by word boundary. Morse & Maxwell 1999, p. 8 Nasalization spreads from a nasal vowel to the right across morpheme boundaries onto vowels which are unmarked for nasality and nasalizable consonants (/b d j w x r/) intervene.
Kotiria yes Stenzel 2004, p. 79
Makuna yes Progressive and regressive in the phonological word. Smothermon & Smothermon 1993, p. 28 Until stopped by an intrinsically oral suffix.
Koreguaje yes Nasalization runs progressively through morphemic boundaries to be stopped by a bilabial plosive. Nasalization runs throughout the word regressively in the same way, but does not cross the boundary between a suffix and a root. Young 1984, p.76
Barasano yes Nasalization may spread throughout a word, on a morphological basis, generally spreading to the right. Jones & Jones 1991, p.13
Tanimuca yes Nasalization spreads both progressively and regressively. Nasal spreading is blocked by obstruents (except /dy/) Strom 1992, p.20
Siona yes Nasalization carries through w, y, h, and glottal stop. Wheeler - 1970:22
Tukano yes Ramirez 1997: 58, 61 Nasalization can spread from nasal lexical morpheme to its oral suffixes. A nasal suffix can also contaminate an oral vowel preceding it, but it will not change the entire word or morpheme nasal
Yanomami yes Nasality can spread throughout the morphemes of a word if one of the morphemes is nasalized. Migliazza 1972: p.158, Ramirez 1994: 69
Ninam no Nasality is a feature of the morpheme, but there's no clearly stated evidence that nasality spreads specifically from roots across morpheme boundaries Migliazza 1972: p.158
Sanumá no info nasalization is a property of the morpheme, but there is no info on whether or not this spreads throughout words Migliazza 1972: p. 206 morphemic
