  The present study is allocated to the investigation of the phonological process of fortition in some dialects of Isfahan province. In order to accomplish this research, the data of twenty-four dialects which are common in Isfahan province, and especially in Kashan and Natanz regions have been examined. The studied dialects are among the Central dialects of Iran. The phonological process of fortition has different types such as devoicing, stopping, insertion, gemination, etc. Different types of which are used in the studied dialects. In this research, an attempt is made to determine the types of phonological processes of fortition in some dialects of Isfahan, Kashan, and Natanz, and to determine their extent and frequency. It has been also tried to regulate in which contexts and places the fortition process takes places. The current research method is descriptive-analytical one. Some of the results of this research are: 1) The most frequent phonetic process of fortition in the examined dialects is devoicing. 2) Stopping is the second common strengthening process in these dialects. 3) The phonetic process of insertion is also a very common phenomenon in the studied dialects, and consonant insertion is more frequent than vowel insertion.

  The present study is about Phonological processes like Lenition, Fortition, Assimilation, Dissimilation, Metathesis and Substitution in the dialect of Mazayejan people in Bavanat. In collecting data of this dialect in the form of field research, Native speakers helped us. The research method is descriptive-analytical and synchronic type. The results show that progressive assimilation, regressive assimilation; types of dissimilation; adjacent metathesis and nonadjacent metathesis; lenition process and its types like approximantization, voicing, spirantization and deletion; fortition and addition and its types like prosthesis, epenthesis and paragoge; voice substitution and all of its type and consonant substitution are the very used processes in the Mazayejanian dialect. Also, while in this dialect, a chain of processes is observed in one word which causes a fundamental change in that word, some phonological processes such as Aphaeresis is not present. The process of voice substitution can be considered as an important indicator of dialect recognition due to its various types and its high frequency in this dialect. Manuscript profile

  Mazandarani Dialect is typologically placed in the group of Northwestern Iranian Languages; and therefore, some of its phonological processes are different from the group of Southwestern Iranian Languages. The purpose of this research is to introduce Lenition and Fortition processes and express their characteristics in the Language Varieties of Mazandaran Province. Most of the data of this research was obtained through interviewing and recording the speech of 30 speakers from 15 cities of Mazandaran Province, including "Sari, Babol, Babolsar, Amol, Qaem Shahr, Savadkooh, Noor, Nowshahr, Chalus, Abbas Abad, Mahmood Abad, Fereydun-Kenar, Behshahr, Tonekabon, and Kelardasht" have been collected, categorized, described and analyzed. In addition, sources such as articles, theses and dictionaries written about this dialect have also been used. The researchers directly interviewed the speakers and recorded the required information. The most important results can be summarized in a few cases: 1) the glide /j/ is removed in the coda of the syllable after a vowel in all varieties of Mazandaran Province. 2) The three Vowels /a/, /o/, /e/ turns to central vowel /ә/ which is named Centralization. 3) The voiced stop consonant /d/ turns to approximant [j] after the vowel. 4) A glottal stop inserts at the beginning of those words which begin with /s/ or /š/. 5) Consonants /f/ and /v/ turns to [b] at the beginning of the syllable.
