PALATALISED Meaning and
Definition
-
Palatalised is an adjective that describes a phonetic or linguistic process by which a consonant sound becomes palatal or is articulated closer to the hard palate of the mouth. It refers to the alteration in pronunciation of a sound, affecting primarily consonants, wherein the tongue is raised toward the hard palate to form a closer contact with it. This movement results in a palatal quality to the sound, which is produced by creating a narrowing of the vocal tract in the region of the hard palate.
Palatalisation often occurs when a consonant sound is influenced by the front vowel sounds, such as /i/ or /j/, which involve the raising of the tongue towards the hard palate. This palatalisation can result in modifications to the consonant's place or manner of articulation, leading to changes in pronunciation.
For example, in the English language, the process of palatalisation can be observed in words like "pure" or "cute," where the /j/ sound (as heard in the word "yes") influences the preceding /u/ sound, resulting in a palatalised /u/ sound.
Palatalisation is a common phenomenon in many languages across the world. It can occur naturally over time, as languages evolve and sounds change, or it can be a deliberate feature of a specific language or dialect.

Etymology of PALATALISED
The word "palatalised" is derived from the noun "palate" and the suffix "-ise", which is used to form verbs indicating the process of making something particular or characteristic.
The term "palate" refers to the roof of the mouth, particularly the hard and soft tissues separating the oral and nasal cavities. In phonetics, "palatalisation" is a linguistic process where a sound becomes more palatal or is produced closer to the hard palate.
By adding the suffix "-ise" to "palate", we form the verb "palatalise", which means to undergo or produce palatalisation. The form "palatalized" is a commonly used spelling in American English, where the verb is converted to an adjective, describing the modified or affected speech sounds.
