Template:Short description Template:More citations needed Template:Sound change Template:IPA notice Consonant mutation is change in a consonant in a word according to its morphological or syntactic environment.

Mutation occurs in languages around the world. A prototypical example of consonant mutation is the initial consonant mutation of all modern Celtic languages. Initial consonant mutation is also found in Indonesian or Malay, in Nivkh, in Southern Paiute and in several West African languages such as Fula. The Nilotic language Dholuo, spoken in Kenya, shows mutation of stem-final consonants, as does English to a small extent. Mutation of initial, medial and final consonants is found in Modern Hebrew. Also, Japanese exhibits word medial consonant mutation involving voicing, rendaku, in many compounds. Uralic languages like Finnish show consonant gradation, a type of consonant mutation.

Similar sound changes

Initial consonant mutation must not be confused with sandhi, which can refer to word-initial alternations triggered by their phonological environment, unlike mutations, which are triggered by their morphosyntactic environment. Some examples of word-initial sandhi are listed below.

Sandhi effects like these (or other phonological processes) are usually the historical origin of morphosyntactically triggered mutation. For example, English fricative mutation (specifically, voicing) in words such as house [haus], plural houses [hauzɪz], and the verb to house [hauz] originates in an allophonic alternation of Old English, where a voiced fricative occurred between vowels (or before voiced consonants), and a voiceless one occurred initially or finally, and also when adjacent to voiceless consonants. Old English infinitives ended in -(i)an and plural nouns (of Class One nouns) ended in -as. Thus, hūs 'a house' had Template:IPA, and hūsian 'house (verb)' had Template:IPA; however, the plural of hūs was hūs, being a neuter noun of the strong a-stem class. During the Middle English period, hous~hus, as part of the loss of gender and erosion of endings, developed plural variation, retaining hous [hu:s], the dative plural housen [hu:zən], which became extended to a general plural, and over time taking on the es plural from Old English Class 1 nouns, thus houses [hu:zəz]. After most endings were lost in English, and the contrast between voiced and voiceless fricatives partly phonemicized (largely due to the influx of French loanwords), the alternation was morphologized.

Examples

English

Template:See also In Old English, velar stops were palatalized in certain cases but not others. That resulted in some alternations, many of which have been levelled, but traces occur in some word doublets such as ditch Template:IPA and dike Template:IPA.

In the past tense of certain verbs, English also retains traces of several ancient sound developments such as *kt > *xt and *ŋx > *x; many of them have been further complicated by the loss of Template:IPA in Middle English.

The pair teach Template:IPA : taught Template:IPA has a combination of both this and palatalization.

A second palatalization, called yod-coalescence, occurs in loanwords from Latin. One subtype affects the sibilant consonants: earlier Template:IPA and Template:IPA were palatalized, leading to an alternation between alveolar Template:IPA and postalveolar Template:IPA.

Another unproductive layer results from the Vulgar Latin palatalization of velar stops before front vowels. It is thus imported from the Romance languages, and Template:IPA alternate with Template:IPA.

A combination of inherited and loaned alternation also occurs: an alternation pattern *t : *sj was brought over in Latinate loanwords, which in English was then turned into an alternation between Template:IPA and Template:IPA.

Celtic languages

Template:Further The Insular Celtic languages are well-known for their initial consonant mutations.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The individual languages vary on the number of mutations available: Scottish Gaelic has one, Irish and Manx have two, Welsh, Cornish and Breton have four (if mixed mutations are counted). Cornish and Breton have so-called mixed mutations; a trigger causes one mutation to some sounds and another to other sounds. Welsh also has a mixed mutation (triggered by na, ni and oni). The languages vary on the environments for the mutations, but some generalizations can be made. Those languages all have feminine singular nouns mutated after the definite article, with adjectives mutated after feminine singular nouns. In most of the languages, the possessive determiners trigger various mutations. Here are some examples from Breton, Cornish, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh:

Breton Cornish Welsh Irish Scottish Gaelic Gloss
gwreg gwreg gwraig bean bean woman/wife
bras bras mawr mór mòr big
ar wreg vras an wreg vras yr wraig fawr an bhean mhór a' bhean mhòr the big woman
kazh kath cath cat cat cat
e gazh y gath ei gath a chat a chat his cat
he c'hazh hy hath ei chath a cat a cat her cat
o c'hazh aga hath eu cath a gcat an cat their cat

Older textbooks on Gaelic sometimes refer to the c → ch mutation as "aspiration", but it is not aspiration in the sense of the word used by modern phoneticians, and linguists prefer to speak of lenition here.

Historically, the Celtic initial mutations originated from progressive assimilation and sandhi phenomena between adjacent words. For example, the mutating effect of the conjunction a 'and' is from the word once having the form *ak, and the final consonant influenced the following sounds.<ref>Ternes, Elmar. 1986. A Grammatical hierarchy of joining. In: Andersen, Henning. Sandhi phenomena in the languages of Europe. P.17-18</ref>

Welsh

Template:Further Welsh has three main classes of initial consonant mutation: soft mutation (Template:Langx); nasal mutation (Template:Langx); and aspirate mutation, which is sometimes called spirant mutation (Template:Langx). The fourth category is mixed mutation, which calls for an aspirate mutation if possible but otherwise a soft mutation. The following tables show the range of Welsh mutations with examples. A blank cell indicates that no change occurs.

Template:AsteriskSoft mutation causes initial Template:IPA to be deleted. For example, Template:Lang "garden" becomes Template:Lang "the garden", and Template:Lang "work" becomes Template:Lang "his work".

The mutation ts → j corresponds to the t → d mutation and reflects a change heard in modern words borrowed from English. Borrowed words like Template:Lang (chips) can often be heard in Wales. Template:Lang 'I'm going to get (some) chips'; Template:Lang 'I have chips'. However, the ts → j mutation is not usually included the classic list of Welsh mutations and is rarely taught in formal classes. Nevertheless, it is a part of the colloquial language and is used by native speakers.

h-prothesis

h-prothesis is a feature in Welsh in which a vowel-initial word becomes h-initial. It occurs after the possessive pronouns Template:Lang 'her', Template:Lang 'our', and Template:Lang 'their': Template:Lang 'age', Template:Lang 'her age' (cf. Template:Lang 'his age'). It also occurs with Template:Lang 'twenty' after Template:Lang 'on' in the traditional counting system: Template:Lang 'twenty-one', literally "one on twenty".

Irish

Template:Further Irish has two consonant mutations: lenition (Template:Langx Template:IPA) and eclipsis (Template:Lang Template:IPA).

Lenition

Lenition (Template:Lang) is indicated by an Template:Vr following the consonant in question or, in some older typefaces and texts, by an overdot (Template:Vr) above the letter that has undergone lenition. The effects of lenition are as follows:

  1. A stop becomes a fricative. Voicing is retained, as is place of articulation except for the coronals.
  2. Template:IPA and Template:IPA become Template:IPA, but Template:IPA, Template:IPA, Template:IPA, Template:IPA, Template:IPA, and Template:IPA do not mutate.
  3. Template:IPA and Template:IPA are deleted.

Eclipsis

The following tables show how eclipsis affects the start of words. Eclipsis is represented in the orthography by adding a letter, or occasionally two letters, to the start of the word. If the word is to be capitalised, the original first letter is capitalised, not the letter or letters added for eclipsis, e.g. the Template:Vr in Template:Lang, Ireland's national anthem.

Russian

In Russian, consonant mutation and alternations are a very common phenomenon during word formation, conjugation and in comparative adjectives.

The most common classes of mutations are the alternation between velar and postalveolar consonants:

Other common mutations are:

Hebrew

Modern Hebrew shows a limited set of mutation alternations, involving spirantization only.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The consonants affected may be stem-initial, stem-medial, or stem-final.

Radical Spirantized
p f
k x
b v
These alternations occur in verbs:
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA ("come" (imperative) → "you will come"),
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA ("broke" (transitive) → "broke" (intransitive),
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA ("he wrote" → "he will write"),
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA ("he remembered" → "he will remember"),
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA ("you (f.) turned" → "to turn"),
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA ("you (f.) judged" → "to judge "),
or in nouns:
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA ("evening" → "twilight"),
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA ("king" → "queen"),
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA ("a thousand" → "a thousandth"),

However, in Modern Hebrew, stop and fricative variants of Template:Script/HebrewTemplate:Rtl, Template:Script/Hebrew and Template:Script/Hebrew are sometimes distinct phonemes:

Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA – Template:IPA ("applied make up" – "tipped ash"),
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA – Template:IPA ("striped" – "missed"),
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA – Template:IPA ("connected" – "made friends (with)"),
Template:•Template:Script/Hebrew Template:IPA – Template:IPA ("got integrated" – "was shocked"),

For a more in depth discussion of this phenomenon, see Begadkefat.

Japanese

Rendaku, meaning "sequential voicing", is a mutation of the initial consonant of a non-initial component in a Japanese compound word:

  • nigiri + sushi → nigirizushi ("grip (with the hand)" + "sushi" → "hand-shaped sushi")
  • nigori + sake → nigorizake ("muddy" + "rice wine" → "unfiltered sake")

Uralic languages

Template:Main Word-medial consonant mutation is found in several Uralic languages and has the traditional name of consonant gradation. It is pervasive, especially in the Samic and Finnic branches.

Finnish

Template:Main Consonant gradation involves an alternation in consonants between a strong grade in some forms of a word and a weak grade in others. The consonants subject to gradation are the plosives (Template:Lang, Template:Lang, Template:Lang) that are followed by a vowel and preceded by a vowel, a sonorant (Template:Lang, Template:Lang, Template:Lang, Template:Lang), or Template:Lang. The strong grade usually appears in an open syllable or before a long vowel.

Strong Weak Example Notes
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang; Template:Lang → Template:Lang Long consonants become short.
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang; Template:Lang → Template:Lang
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang; Template:Lang → Template:Lang
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang Lenition.
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang; Template:Lang → Template:Lang
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang
Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang; Template:Lang → Template:Lang In the combinations Template:Lang and Template:Lang.
Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang; Template:Lang → Template:Lang When followed by Template:Lang or Template:Lang and preceded by Template:Lang, Template:Lang or Template:Lang.
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang Assimilation.
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang
Template:Lang Template:IPA Template:Lang Template:IPA Template:Lang → Template:Lang

The gradation of loanwords may include gradation of the plosives that are not native to Finnish:

Strong Weak Example
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang
Template:Lang Template:Lang Template:Lang → Template:Lang

Burmese

Burmese exhibits consonant mutation, in the form of sandhi voicing, to varying degrees across regional dialects.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite book</ref> Speakers from Yangon and Upper Myanmar exhibit more consistent use of sandhi voicing and assimilation than speakers from peripheral regions, though local and individual variation exists.<ref name=":0" /> In Arakanese (Rakhine), voicing is limited to plain initials, while it is entirely absent in the Intha dialect.<ref name=":0" /> The following consonants are eligible for voicing in Burmese:

Original consonant 1st stage of voicing 2nd stage of voicing
Template:IPA Template:IPA Template:IPA
Template:IPA Template:IPA → Template:IPA —
Template:IPA Template:IPA —
Template:IPA Template:IPA Template:IPA
Template:IPA Template:IPA → Template:IPA → Template:IPA Template:IPA
Template:IPA Template:IPA —
ŋ̊ Template:IPA —
n̥ Template:IPA —
m̥ Template:IPA —
ɲ̥ Template:IPA —

Voicing generally occurs when a voiceable consonant occurs between two vowels, and have voiced consonants. Some commonly used grammatical markers like Template:Angbr (Template:Ipa → Template:Ipa → Template:Ipa) and Template:Angbr (Template:Ipa → Template:Ipa) also undergo the 2nd stage of voicing.<ref name=":0" /> Voicing also occurs in the pronunciation of Burmese numerals and classifiers.<ref name=":0" />

The primary type of sandhi voicing occurs when two syllables are joined to form a compound word, with the initial consonant of the second syllable becoming voiced.<ref name=":0" />

Examples:

Template:IPA (Template:Lang) + Template:IPA (Template:Lang) > Template:IPA ("medicine" + "room" → "clinic")

The second type of consonant mutation occurs when the phoneme Template:IPA after the nasalized final Template:IPA becomes a Template:IPA sound in compound words.

Examples:

"blouse" (Template:Lang angkyi) can be pronounced Template:IPA or Template:IPA.

The third type of consonant mutation occurs when phonemes Template:IPA, after the nasalized final Template:IPA, become Template:IPA in compound words:

Template:IPA (Template:Lang) + Template:IPA (Template:Lang) > Template:IPA (Template:Lang) ("to consult")
Template:IPA (Template:Lang) + Template:IPA (Template:Lang) > Template:IPA ("to apologize")
Template:IPA (Template:Lang) + Template:IPA (Template:Lang) > Template:IPA ("airplane")

Southern Oceanic languages

Mutation of the initial consonant of verbs is a feature of several languages in the Southern Oceanic branch of the Austronesian language family.

Central Vanuatu

Initial consonant mutation occurs in many Central Vanuatu languages like Raga:

nan vano "I went"
nam bano "I go"

Those patterns of mutations probably arose when a nasal prefix, indicating the realis mood, became combined with the verb's initial consonant.<ref>Crowley T, 1991. Parallel Development and Shared Innovation: Some Developments in Central Vanuatu Inflectional Morphology. Oceanic Linguistics, Vol. 30, No. 2, pp. 179-222</ref> The possible ancestral pattern of mutation and its descendants in some modern Central Vanuatu languages are shown below:

Proto-Central Vanuatu *k > *ŋk *r > *nr *p > *mp
Raga (Pentecost) x > ŋg t > d v / vw > b / bw
Northern Apma (Pentecost) k > ŋg t > d v / w > b / bw
Southern Apma (Pentecost) v / w > b / bw
Ske (Pentecost) z > d v / vw > b / bw
Lonwolwol (Ambrym) r > rV ∅ > bV
Southeast Ambrym x / h / ∅ > g t > d v / h > b
Northern Paama ∅ > k t > r
Central/Southern Paama k / ∅ > g / ŋ t / r > d
Nāti (Malekula) k / ʔ > ŋk t / r > nt / ntr v / w > mp / mpw
Maii (Epi) t > d v > b
Lewo (Epi) v / w > p / pw
Lamenu (Epi) ∅ > p
Bierebo (Epi) k > ŋk t / c > nd / nj v / w > p / pw
Baki (Epi) c > s v > mb
Bieria (Epi) t > nd v > mb
Nakanamanga (Efaté-Shepherds) k > ŋ r > t v / w > p / pw
Namakir (Shepherds) k > ŋ t / r > d v / w > b

New Caledonia

Initial consonant mutation also serves a grammatical purpose in some New Caledonian languages. For example, Iaai uses initial consonant mutation in verbs to distinguish between specific/definite objects and generic/indefinite objects:

Mutation Determinate object Indeterminate object Meaning
k > x kap xəp "welcome"
l > hl lele hlihli "pull, haul in"
n > hn nəŋ hnəŋ "brandish"
ɳ > hɳ ɳooc hɳuuk "tie"
t > θ təəʈ θəəʈ "lift up by the end"
w > hw wia hwiəə "turn, change"
v > hv vɛɖen hvɛɛʈ "carry on the shoulder"

Those forms likely derive from an earlier reduplication of the first syllable in which the interconsonantal vowel was deleted, resulting in a spirantization of the formerly reduplicated consonant.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>

Dholuo

The Dholuo language (one of the Luo languages) shows alternations between voiced and voiceless states of the final consonant of a noun stem.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> In the construct state (the form that means 'hill of', 'stick of', etc.) the voicing of the final consonant is switched from the absolute state. (There are also often vowel alternations that are independent of consonant mutation.)

Fula

Consonant mutation is a prominent feature of the Fula language. The Gombe dialect spoken in Nigeria, for example, shows mutation triggered by declension class.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The mutation grades are fortition and prenasalization:

Radical Fortition Prenasalization
f p p
s Template:IPA Template:IPA
h k k
w b mb
r d nd
j Template:IPA, ɡ Template:IPA, Template:IPA
Template:IPA ɡ Template:IPA

For example, the stems rim- 'free man' and Template:IPA 'person' have the following forms:

Indonesian and Malay

The active form of a multisyllabic verb with an initial stop consonant or fricative consonant is formed by prefixing the verb stem with meN- in which N stands for a nasal sharing the same place of articulation as the initial consonant:

  • garuk → menggaruk (= to scratch), hitung → menghitung (= to count),
  • beri → memberi (= to give), fitnah → memfitnah (= to accuse falsely),
  • cari → mencari (= to search), dapat → mendapat (= to obtain), *jangkau → menjangkau (= to reach)

An initial consonant that is an unvoiced stop or s is deleted, leaving only the nasal in its place.

  • kandung → mengandung (= to contain or to be pregnant),
  • putih → memutih (= to turn white),
  • satu → menyatu (= to become one / to unite),
  • tulis → menulis (= to write).

Applied to verbs starting with a vowel, the nasal is realized as ng Template:IPA.

Monosyllabic verbs add an epenthetic vowel before prefixing and produce the prefix menge-:

  • bor (= boring tool / drill) → mengebor (= to make a hole with drill).

Verbs starting with a nasal or approximant consonant do not add any mutant nasal, only me-.<ref>Examples adapted from Wikibooks:Indonesian prefix me</ref>

The colloquial language (especially Jakartan Indonesian) drops me- prefix but tends to replace it with nasalization in some consonants:Template:Citation needed

  • tanya → menanya → nanya
  • pikir → memikir → mikir
  • merepotkan → ng(e)repotin

Ute

In Ute, also called Southern Paiute, there are three consonant mutations, which are triggered by different word-stems,<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> The mutations are spirantization, gemination, and prenasalization:

Radical Spirantization Gemination Prenasalization
p v pp mp
