  1. palatalise

    Palatalise refers to a process in phonetics where a sound is changed or influenced to become pronounced at the back of the mouth, by the hard palate (the middle part of the roof of the mouth). This modification produces a y-like or j-like sound and is common in the pronunciation and development of certain languages. Palatalisation can also refer to a linguistic feature of producing a sound closer to the hard palate.
