'''Mazurzenie''' ({{IPA-pl|mazuˈʐɛɲɛ|-|Pl-mazurzenie.ogg}}) or '''mazuration''' is the replacement or [[merger (phonology)|merger]] of [[Polish language|Polish]]'s series of [[retroflex consonant|retroflex]] [[fricative consonant|fricative]]s and [[affricate consonant|affricate]]s {{IPA|/ʂ, ʐ, t͡ʂ, d͡ʐ/}} ([[Polish alphabet|written]] sz, ż, cz, dż) into the [[alveolar consonant|alveolar]] series {{IPA|/s, z, t͡s, d͡z/}} (written s, z, c, dz). This merger is present in many dialects, but is named for the [[Masovian dialect]].<ref name=koerner>Stanislaw Gogolewski, "Dialectology in Poland, 1873-1997", In: ''Towards a History of Linguistics in Poland'', by E.

This [[Phonology|phonological]] feature is observed in dialects of Masuria and Masovia (Masovian dialect), as well as in most of [[Lesser Poland]] and parts of [[Silesia]], and on the periphery of [[Greater Poland]] (mainly [[Mazurzy wieleńscy]]). The boundary of ''mazurzenie'' runs from north-east to south-west.<ref name=koerner/> It may have originated between the 14th and 16th centuries in the Masovian dialect.<ref>[http://www.gwarypolskie.uw.edu.pl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=176&Itemid=58 Karaś, Halina.

A similar phenomenon, [[Ts-ch merger|Tsokanye]], has been observed in the [[Old Novgorod dialect]] of [[Old East Slavic]]. It also occurs in a few areas of the Chakavian dialect of [[Croatian language|Croatian]], known as ''[[Chakavian_dialect#Non-palatal_tsakavism|tsakavism]]''. In the Polish and [[Kashubian language|Kashubian]] dialects there are also other similar phenomena, ''[[jabłonkowanie]]'' (in the dialects of some Silesian [[Gorals|Górale]]) and ''[[kaszubienie]]'' (in many variants of Kashubian).
