Voiceless alveolar fricative to Voiced postalveolar affricate
The phonetic transformation from the voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ to the voiced postalveolar affricate /d͡ʒ/ is an attested historical sound change, notably observed in the development of the Hruso language from Proto-Tibeto-Burman. This shift involves a combination of phonetic processes, including palatalization, voicing, and affrication.
