epenthesis

Epenthesis** is a linguistic phenomenon in which one or more sounds are added within a word, often to make pronunciation easier or to conform to phonological rules.

Examples of "epenthesis" in Sentences

For example, in some dialects of English, the insertion of a "b" in the word "film" makes it sound like "filum," showcasing epenthesis. Additionally, the word "hamster" may be pronounced as "hamst-er," where the addition of the epenthetic vowel helps to separate the consonant clusters for smoother articulation
