Abstract

Assimilation is a process by which sounds are influenced by their

neighbours, or replaced by other sounds in the Language. Sometimes you find

two neighbouring sounds reacting, as it were upon one another and are replaced

by a third sound different from both the original sounds.

In this article I described assimilation between the old Arab grammarian and

the modern. Each has his own theory. Included in this article are kinds of

assimilation, whether direct or indirect, progressive or regressive. The symptom

of Assimilation in old Arabic Dialects are then dealt with.
