This paper aims to find out phonological complications in
Balochi relevant to metathesis. Data for the research have been
collected from daily conversation, books and Balochi
dictionaries and have been analyzed through Feature Geometry.
This study identifies CC (consonant – consonant) metathesis. It
highlights the behavior of different phonemes that causes
metathesis to occur. Phonemes with weaker acoustic cues and
those with strong acoustic signals compete with each other for a
better position in a syllable. The clusters that are not accepted
by the language grammar adopt a reverse sequence through this
process. In addition, stress and onset requirement also are
factors that play significant role in metathesis in Balochi.
