All living languages are characterized by sound changes that have occurred and will continue to occur in the course of their history. Some linguists choose to consider the sound-change process as something that operates with the regularity of physical laws. “Sound law”is a term devised by linguist August Leskien to describe the supposed absolute regularity of this kind of structural change in language
The term “sound law” means that, in a given area and at a given period. if a sound
changes, the change will be universal and will have no exceptions. This rule loses some of its inflexibility by amendments to the effect that, if apparent exceptions are found. they arc due to some extraneous factor, such as learned influence, foreign or dialectal borrowing, or analogy.
