Ebook: A Phonetic Study of Kashmiri Palatalization

Publication date: 2009
Number of pages: 17Kashmiri is often cited as one of the very few languages in the Indian subcontinent that has extensive use of palatalized sounds in its phonology. Both lexical forms as well as inflected and derived forms can possess palatalized consonants which may contrast with their non-palatalized counterparts. The present study tries to examine the phonetic composition of the phenomenon of palatalization in Kashmiri.
