  • Internal sandhi features the alteration of sounds within words at morpheme boundaries, as in ''sympathy'' (''syn- + pathy'').

  • External sandhi refers to changes found at word boundaries, such as in the pronunciation for ''ten books'', or the Finnish inter-word geminates (''loppukahdennus''), e.g. ''nyt se'' → ''nysse'' "now it", or ''hernekeitto'' → ''hernekkeitto'' "pea soup".

  • The French term Liaison is a kind of external sandhi.


While it may be extremely common in speech, it is typically ignored in spelling, as is the case in Finnish and, with the exception of the distinction between "a" and "an", English (see, for example, '' Linking R ''). External sandhi effects can sometimes become morphologized (i.e. apply only in certain Morphological and Syntactic environments) and, over time, turn into Consonant Mutation s.

Most does not change.
