| Summary: | Assimilation is a phonological, linguistic phenomenon. Assimilation is a change may occur between words or within a word when one speech sound comes to resemble or become identical with a neighboring sound. By heraldically swift speech, adjoining consonant sounds often influence one another to produce changes embedding modification in voicing, place of articulation, or in both voicing and place (Majeed& Mahmad, 1997 : 124). The main reason behind this change is the tendency of the speaker towards ease of articulation and/ or economy of effort. The study aims to contrast assimilation in Classical Arabic and Standard English in order to identify the different and similar patterns in the two languages.
