Answer:

phonological change is any sound change that alters the distribution of phonemes in a language.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the devoicing of the vowels /i/ and /ɯ/ in certain environments in Japanese, the nasalization of vowels before nasals (common but not universal), changes in point of articulation of stops and nasals under the influence of adjacent vowels.
