- Assibilate — To transform or become transformed (said of a consonant, usually a plosive like 't' or 'd') into a sibilant fricative or affricate consonant (such as 'ț' or 'z'), under the influence of a neighboring palatal vowel; to undergo the process of assibilating. This phonetic structural phenomenon is essential in the evolution of Romance languages, explaining the delicate transition from classical Latin forms to modern Romanian.
- Assibilation — A phonetic process through which a plosive consonant transforms into a sibilant consonant (fricative or affricate) under the influence of a palatal vowel or a semivocalic element. In a structural sense, this historical phenomenon explains the evolution of certain sounds from Latin into Romance languages, such as the transition from dental plosives to affricates.
