palatalization
🇺🇸
/ˌpælətələˈzeɪʃn/
🇬🇧
/ˌpælətəlaɪˈzeɪʃn/
the process of changing a consonant sound by raising the middle part of the tongue towards the hard palate
In some languages, the pronunciation of 't' and 'd' changes through palatalization, making them sound like 'ch' and 'j'.
在某些語言中,'t' 和 'd' 的發音透過腭化發生變化,使它們聽起來像 'ch' 和 'j'。
