Palatalized voiced alveolar plosive to Voiced alveolar affricate
The palatalized voiced alveolar plosive /dʲ/ can undergo affrication, transforming into the voiced alveolar affricate /dz/. This phonetic shift is a common process where a stop consonant, particularly when articulated with a palatalized release, develops a fricative component, resulting in an affricate. This often occurs in contexts influenced by surrounding palatal sounds or as a result of historical palatalization processes.
