Generation

Phonological assimilation is a process where a sound becomes more similar to a neighboring sound by adopting one or more of its phonetic features. This typically occurs to make pronunciation easier and speech more fluid. The process can be represented by the formula: **A → B / _C** (meaning sound A becomes sound B when occurring before sound C). For example, the prefix "in-" becomes "im-" before bilabial sounds, as in "impossible," where the alveolar /n/ assimilates to the bilabial /m/ before the bilabial /p/.
