[Lingtyp] question about sound alternation/change

[Siva Kalyan]

According to Martin Kümmel’s Konsonantenwandel (p. 197), the (unconditioned) changes *tɕ > t and *dʑ > d are attested in Lycian, Arcado-Cypriot (Greek), and Sindhi (Indo-Aryan). Similar changes are also found in dialects of Spanish and in Finno-Ugric languages (Udmurt and Khanty).
