Аннотация:The paper deals with vowel and consonant assimilation in Dabida, Bantu (E74a). While often exhibiting vowel sequences, Dabida nevertheless presents a lot of cases of contact and distant vowel assimilation occurring in verbal roots, stems, suffixes, noun final -a, attributive and presentative demonstratives. Consonant assimilation occurs with nasal prefix [N-] (of noun classes 9/10) homorganic to root initial voiced stops and affricates. All types of assimilation in Dabida belong to the category of morphophonemic rules, but not to phonetic ones.
