Assimilation
- Assimilation is the different realization of a phoneme as a result of being near some other phoneme belonging to a neighboring word.
- Every consonant and every vowel is affected by its neighboring consonants and vowels. This adaptation of segments to each other is sometimes referred to as "assimilation".
