Phonological Borrowing is the diachronic linguistic phenomenon whereby a language incorporates phonological elements—such as sounds, phonotactic patterns, or prosodic features—from another language through sustained language contact, distinguished from lexical or grammatical borrowing by its exclusive focus on phonological structure and system integration.
