Abstract
Abstract: The dialect of the village of Abadeh tashk undergoes clear pheonological change.In many words a consonant is changed to another consonant,that is, it undeagoes alteration,or some consonants are omited that is,elision occurs. In some words, two consonants replace each other that is reversal happers in them. In some other case are in a word insertion happens. It sometimes happens that in a word more than one change occur, In other words, elisionand reversal. Alteration and reversal, alteration and insertion and or all happen to gether.In the dialect under study,in most case elision,alteration. Reversal, increase and elision and reversal happen.

Most studies on obsolescing language situations deal with gradual change, the loss of language in language-contact situations.
Phonology is one of several aspects of a natural language and it is the study of sound systems of languages. The purpose of this article is to study and describe the phonemic system of the dialect of Marvdashti. Marvdashti dialect belongs to the southwestern branch of New Iranian languages. The article deals with an inventory of Marvdashti dialect sounds and their features and it covers the phonological rules which specify how sounds interact with each other. This study first introduces and examines the consonants and vowels of Marvdashti dialect, and then explores phoneme arrangement, syllable structure and phonological processes such as assimilation, dissimilation, alteration, epenthesis, deletion and methathesis.

The purpose of this article is to investigate lenition in Sistani dialect in generative phonologyframe. At first the short description of Sistani dialect, Methodology and generative phonology is represented, and then the phonological process lenition in Sistani in comparison with Persian is deal with. For this purpose, all alternation in respect of lenition, in Sistani in comparison with Persian, were extracted then according to some criteria , it is determined which form is underlying representation; for instance, in Sistani, bilabial consonant such as [b] in the coda position of syllable is converted to [f],[v],[w].like ɑb→ ow. According to” Frequency of occurrence, it is proved ɑbrepresentation.

The oral monophthongal vowel system of Nepali is commonly described as a 6-member vowel system that has lost the ī-i and ū-u contrasts of Sanskrit while qualitatively retaining its ā-a contrast. Similarly, the vowel system of Tajik, a variety of New Persian, has lost the ī-i and ū-u contrasts of Early New Persian while qualitatively retaining its ā-a contrast. However, unlike Nepali, in which ā is more open (and perhaps also more back) than a, Tajik has preserved the ā-a contrast by raising ā above a. Despite this, data exist that suggest that, in the late 19th to early 20th century, Tajik had a 6-vowel triangular system very similar to that of present-day Nepali. This presentation contrasts the vowel systems of Nepali and Tajik as well as those of the languages with which the two languages have been in intensive contact, and discusses the implications their parallel and differential developments may have for the typology of vowel systems and Labov’s supposedly universal principles of vowel shifting.

This paper investigates synchronic vowel replacement patterns in the Mfantse dialect of Akan. Hitherto, the Akan vowel harmony system has been the only aspect of vowel replacement process that has received extensive study in the literature, albeit a variety of ways by which vowel replacement comes about in the language exists. In this paper, therefore, we have organised V-replacement into vertical and horizontal vowel shifts. The vertical vowel shift has been subcategorized into upward and downward shifts which may also be referred to as vowel raising and vowel lowering, respectively. The direction of horizontal V shifting system is also parametric whereby a trigger vowel may spread leftwards or rightwards to a target vowel on its left or right, respectively. Furthermore, it will be demonstrated in this paper that a consonant might ostensibly condition vowel replacements in Mfantse but, in reality, such replacements are often brought about by floating
The present study intends to investigate, describe and elucidate the existing phonological processes in Mashhadi dialect through applying a descriptive-analytic approach. Assimilation (adaptation of two consonants or two vowels), dissimilation, elision, addition, metathesis, and alternation are processes which have been assessed in this article. These processes are only discussed at the phonological level and do not make semantic shifts. They are mostly the consequence of people's tendency to have more facility and fluency in using language. The achieved findings indicate that elision and alteration are the most frequent processes which occur in Mashhadi dialect. On the other hand, dissimilation is the least frequent one.

This dissertation is an investigation of acoustic properties of lexical tone in two dialects of Dane-z̲ aa (Athabaskan). The noteworthy mirror-image tone systems of the Hmarked Doig and L-marked Halfway dialects provide a unique opportunity to explore intrinsic differences in how pitch manifests in specific environments. The dissertation has three main parts. The first explores effects of various linguistic features on normalized pitch, including tone, lexical and morphological categories. Tone was found to be statistically robust in Halfway, and less so for Doig, indicating that the distinction between tonal categories in Doig is becoming less stable. The second part investigates effects of word-final glottal stops on the voice quality of preceding vowels, in comparison to vowels of the same quality in open iv The Phonetics of Tone in Two Dialects of Dane-z̲ aa syllables. Measures used include intensity, pitch, jitter, and spectral tilt. Expected outcomes of lower intensity and increased jitter in vowels before word-final glottal stops were revealed for both dialects. Results for pitch garnered a lack of a significant effect of word-final glottal stops for the Doig speakers, where a pitch raising effect was expected. These findings offer evidence that Doig is changing from a language that originally had pitch raising as a reflex of the PA constriction, to one in which the trigger for marked tone is no longer manifesting in a measurable way, with respect to pitch. Halfway speakers showed the expected pitch lowering before the word-final glottal stop. vi

The current study aims to determine the sound-changing rules in the Urdu language and their underlying causes. For this purpose, words that exhibited distinct pronunciations as compared to their written forms were selected for the study. A list of 500 words was prepared from the Urdu dictionary "Feeroz-ul-Lughat," and twenty (20) proficient Urdu language speakers were selected to articulate these chosen words. The study's analysis was divided into three stages, namely recording, transcribing, and examining the speakers' pronunciations to identify the sound changing patterns; consulting the dictionary for standard transcriptions; and phonetically and orthographically transcribing and examining the selected words. The findings revealed various contextual occurrences in which phonological changes had occurred. Additionally, after a thorough examination, the evidence supporting or contradicting the existing sound-changing rules was explored through the selected words from the Urdu language. Markedly, this study aims to enhance the understanding of the phonological dynamics in spoken Urdu expressions as well as the major factors contributing to sound changes in the Urdu language.
This research deals with vowels system of the Albanian language of Ternoc, as a part of language in use. The research includes the harvest of material, phonetic transcription and then interpretation of data based on elements like, gender, age, and education. This classification helps in order to chart the sound system not only in oral aspect like geographical but also social and cultural layer.
