  2. Ibero Romance Languages

    Linked via "Asturian"

    A key divergence involves the reflexes of the Latin voiced sibilants /z/ and /ʒ/. In most dialects, these sounds merged into a single phoneme, which subsequently evolved differently:
    | Latin Source | Castilian Reflex | Portuguese Reflex | Asturian Reflex |
    | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
    | /z/ (intervocalic) | /θ/ or /s/ (depending on dialect/era) | /z/ (sometimes retained historically) | /s/ |
