What is "epenthesis"?

Epenthesis is a phonological process that involves the insertion of one or more sounds within a word, typically to ease pronunciation or to comply with the phonotactic rules of a language. This can occur in various contexts, such as adding a vowel to break up a difficult consonant cluster. For example, in some dialects of English, the word "film" may be pronounced as "filum" to make it easier to say. Epenthesis is important in linguistics because it helps explain how language evolves over time and how speakers adapt their pronunciation for clarity and ease of communication.
