    Assimilation is the process by which two or more sounds become more similar to each other. There are different types of assimilation including progressive, regressive, and voicing assimilation. Progressive assimilation involves sounds changing to match a following sound, like /h{p@n/ becoming /h{pn=/ or /h{p@n/ changing to /h{pm=/ due to assimilation. Regressive assimilation, also called de-alveolar assimilation, can be bilabial, velar, or palato-alveolar and involves sounds changing to match a preceding sound.
