Assimilation: a rule which voices a consonant when it immediately precedes another voiced consonant is clearly an example of an assimilation rule.
The example of a rule which creates a fricative out of a stop when it occurs between two vowels is also a possible instance of an assimilation rule - a stop is pronounced as a continuant when it occurs between two continuants.

These changes for the most part did not detract from the rule-governed nature of the spelling system; but in some cases they introduced confusing inconsistencies, like the well-known example of the many pronunciations of "ough" (rough, through, though, trough, plough, etc.).
For example, the digraph "th" represents two different sounds (the voiced interdental fricative and the voiceless interdental fricative) (see Pronunciation of English th), and the voiceless alveolar fricative can be represented by the letters "s" and "c".
There was also a period when the spellings of words were altered in what is now regarded as a misguided attempt to make them conform to what were perceived to be the etymological origins of the words.

 Realization of Interdental Fricatives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In varieties of African-American English, the interdental fricatives are realized as either alveolar stops or labiodental fricatives, depending upon the location of the fricative in the word.
The same holds true of the voiced interdental fricative.

 Consonants: Fricatives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Fricatives are consonants that are formed by impeding the flow of air somewhere in the vocal apparatus so that a friction-sound is produced.
Because of the way the flow of breath is heard in producing fricatives, fricatives are also called spirants.
Fricatives may be voiced (vocal cords vibrating during the articulation of the fricative) or voiceless (vocal cords not vibrating during the articulation of the fricative).

Second row, L to R: = voiced interdental fricative = vocal cords are vibrating, so sound is voiced; tongue is between teeth, so sound is interdental; the only voiced interdental in English is this sound.
Third row, L to R: = vocal cords are not vibrating, so sound is voiceless; tongue is between teeth, so sound is interdental; the only voiceless interdental in English is this sound.
[b] =vocal cords are vibrating, so sound is voiced; lips are closed (stop), so sound is bilabial; nasal passage is closed, so sound is not nasal.

 Orthography
LaFlesche, however, describes it as representing a voiceless interdental fricative (theta, or the sound of th in with), which seems to have been the pronunciation of /s/ favored by at least some residents of the Omaha village in which LaFlesche was raised, WiNj^a'ge.
In spite of this they contrasted in Omaha-Ponca, for whereas /z/ was a voiced interdental fricative (the nominal pronunciation of English edh), the /r/ usually written edh is a retroflex lateral, rather closer to the alveolar tap that often replaces edh in American English dialects.
Otherwise, voiceless fricatives tend to be morpheme initial and in clusters before voiceless sounds, while voiced ones tend to be morpheme internal and in clusters before voiced sounds.

One sound is voiced, as in "though", and is represented by the symbol that looks like a little crown (sorry that I can't write the symbol for you!), The other is voiceless, as in "thought", and is represented by the Greek symbol theta.
Another hint is that the voiced interdental fricative (the crown symbol) is only found at the beginning of a handful of words in English:
The voiced interdental fricative is found more often in the middle of words.

 Cephalogenic: Rough
A fricative sound is one which is produced by forcing air through a small space in the mouth.
Dental sounds are those which are produced by placing the tongue against the teeth, and interdental sounds are produced by placing the tongue between the teeth.
English is one of those rare languages that uses the interdental fricative, and in fact it has two: the voiced (that is, involving the vocal cords) "th-" as in "those" and "clothe", and the unvoiced (a mere hiss of air with no vocal cords) "th-" as in "thwart" and "cloth".

There were also a series of linguistic sound changes towards the end of this period, including the Great Vowel Shift.
For example, this resulted in "igh" in "night" changing from a pure vowel followed by a velar fricative to a diphthong, and "stone" changing from two syllables to one.
For example, the digraph "th" represents two different sounds (the voiced interdental fricative and the voiceless interdental fricative), and the voiceless alveolar fricative can be represented by the letters "s" and "c".

This difference is sometimes forgotten by Swedish speakers, resulting in mispronunciation.
Swedish also lacks some common English phonemes, such as [θ] ( voiceless interdental fricative), [ð] ( voiced interdental fricative) and [z] ( voiced alveolar fricative).
In general, written Swedish corresponds to the pronunciation more closely than in English.

In Old English, the letters þ and ð were used interchangeably for this sound and the voiced dental fricative, but they have been dropped from modern usage in favor of the 'th' digraph.
Icelandic retains the letter þ for this sound, and Greek has the letter θ ( theta).
Native speakers of those languages sometimes have difficulty enunciating or distinguishing it, and replace it with a voiceless alveolar fricative or a voiceless dental plosive.

The sounds indicated by the letters th, voiced interdental fricative and voiceless interdental fricative, are not found in other European languages with the exception of Spanish, Greek and Icelandic.
In most of the other Germanic languages, like German and Dutch, consonants at the ends of words are never voiced, and so native speakers of those languages tend not to voice consonants at the ends of words in English, hence mug and muck, and bat and bad are pronounced alike to them.
The term voicing may refer to: In phonetics, a type of phonation.

fricative laminoalveolar voiceless s and z > s fricative apicoalveolar voiceless S and Z > S fricative [lamino]postalveolar voiceless this is the basis for the most usual sistems.
The voiced "th" occurs in all varieties of Spanish and is generally assumed to result from a progressive weakening of Latin t first to d, then to "th", especially in intervocalic position.
There is a lot of discussion of fricatives there, mostly sibilants though, and a comment about the young speakers of a language, whose name I can't recall now, who produce /s/'s as /th/'s (I suspect due to lack of developed enough dentition?).
