There is another form of palatalization that affects the consonants ''c'', ''k'', and ''g'' as well as the clusters ''sk'' and ''zg''. These are palatalized before front vowels (''ä, e, i, ö, y, ei, ey, eu, ie, ye'') to /t͡s, t͡ʃ, d͡ʒ- ~ -j-, ʃ, ʒ/ respectively. Additionally, ''g'' is palatalized to /-j- ~ -ʃ/ after orthographic ''i'' (which therefore excludes ''ie'' and includes ''ei, oi,'' ''ai'', and unstressed ''i'' /ə/). Unstressed ''e'' /ə/ does not cause palatalization. | There is another form of palatalization that affects the consonants ''c'', ''k'', and ''g'' as well as the clusters ''sk'' and ''zg''.

The palatalization of | The palatalization of ''(s)k'' and ''(z)g'' can be blocked by adding ''h'' after the consonant/cluster (i.e. ''(s)kh, (z)gh''). This only occurs in loanwords. Some common words and morphemes do not indicate the lack of palatalization - e.g. ''kitab'' /kɪˈtaːp/ "book", ''-logie'' /lɔˈgiː/ "-logy". Many of these have nativized forms that may be preferred by some speakers - e.g. ''ketap'' /kəˈtaːp/, ''-logjie'' /lɔˈd͡ʒiː/. | ||
