Palatalization Affrication Indo-Iranian Historical Linguistics

Voiced retroflex stop to Voiced postalveolar affricate

The transformation from a voiced retroflex stop (/ɖ/) to a voiced postalveolar affricate (/d͡ʒ/) is a documented phonetic shift, primarily occurring through processes of palatalization and affrication. This change involves a shift in the manner of articulation from a complete stop to an affricate, and a slight forward adjustment in the place of articulation from retroflex to postalveolar.
