=====Palatalisation===== | =====Palatalisation===== | ||
Early evidence of palatalized pronunciations of /tj kj/ appears as early as the 2nd–3rd centuries AD in the form of spelling mistakes interchanging ⟨ti⟩ and ⟨ci⟩ before a following vowel, as in ⟨tribunitiae⟩ for tribuniciae. This is assumed to reflect the fronting of Latin /k/ in this environment to [c ~ t͡sʲ]. Palatalisation of the velar consonants /k/ and /ɡ/ occurred in certain environments, mostly involving front vowels; additional palatalisation is also found in dental consonants /t/, /d/, /l/ and /n/, however, these are not palatalised in word initial environment. | Early evidence of palatalized pronunciations of /tj kj/ appears as early as the 2nd–3rd centuries AD in the form of spelling mistakes interchanging ⟨ti⟩ and ⟨ci⟩ before a following vowel, as in ⟨tribunitiae⟩ for tribuniciae.

In some cases, palatalisation occurs word initially, mainly if /kn/ is the initial cluster: | |||
* Gothic ''knōþs'' [knoːθs] > Luthic ''ġnode'' [ˈɲo.ð̞e]. | |||
* Langobardic ''*knohha'' /ˈknoxːa ~ ˈknɔxːa/ > Luthic ''ġnocco'' [ˈɲɔk.ku]; | |||
It may not happen internally a word: | |||
* Gothic ''kēlikn'' > Luthic ''celecna'' [t͡ʃeˈlek.nɐ]. | |||
