'''Sonorant Assimilation'''<br> | |||
Sonorants assimilate to the place of articulation of the following consonant. | |||
* [r l m] before labial obstruents | |||
* [r l n] before dental, alveolar and postalveolar obstruents | |||
* [ɽ ɭ ɳ] before retroflex obstruents | |||
* [r̝ ʎ ɲ] before palatal obstruents | |||
* [r l ŋ] before velar obstruents | |||
<br> | |||
'''Retroflex Assimilation'''<br> | |||
Assimilation of Retroflex Obstruents occurs when in [C₁C₂] clusters; where [C₁] is a non-retroflex coronal obstruent and [C₂] is a retroflex consonant. | |||
* If [C₁C₂], then a Geminate Retroflex is formed from left-to-right assimilation. | |||
** [C₁] assimilates to [C₂]'s place of articulation. | |||
** If /t d/ and /ʈ ɖ/, then /tʈ dɖ/ becomes /ʈː ɖː/ | |||
* If [C₂C₁], then a Geminate Retroflex is formed from right-to-left assimilation. | |||
** [C₂] assimilates to [C₁]'s place of articulation. | |||
** If /ʈ ɖ/ and /c ɟ/, then /ʈc ɖɟ/ becomes /ʈː ɖː/ | |||
<br> | |||
'''Sibilant Assimilation'''<br> | |||
Assimilation of Sibilants occurs when in [C₁C₂] clusters; where [C₁] is alveolar and [C₂] is a palatal. | |||
* If [C₁C₂], then a Geminate Sibilant is formed from left-to-right assimilation. | |||
** [C₁] assimilates to [C₂]'s place of articulation. | |||
** If /s z/ and /ʃ ʒ/, then /sʃ zʒ/ becomes /ʃː ʒː/ | |||
* If [C₂C₁], then a Geminate Sibilant is formed from right-to-left assimilation. | |||
** [C₂] assimilates to [C₁]'s place of articulation. | |||
** If /ʃ ʒ/ and /s z/, then /ʃs ʒz/ becomes /ʃː ʒː/ | |||
* If one of the two adjacent Sibilants is an Affricate, the Affricate changes its place of articulation. | |||
* Affricate-Fricative [CC] clusters are pronounced the same as geminate affricate. | |||
* Assimilation can be omitted in articulated speech, e.g. to avoid homophony. | |||
<br> | |||
'''Palatal Assimilation'''<br> | |||
An Alveolar and an adjacent Palatal results in a Palatal Geminate. | |||
* Full palatal assimilation occurs when the final [-C] is [j] | |||
* Partial assimilation takes place if an Alveolar Plosive is followed by a Palatal | |||
* Alveolar Plosives assimilate to their Palatal counterpart before [ɲ] | |||
