Re: does Language require Deception to exist?

 is there a term for when a language is evolving/being changed, & replaces
one letter with another (ie, /d/ becomes /t/) in nearly all instances...yet
there are still words in the resultant language  which retain (to continue
the example) /d/ ?

 thanks.
