Devoicing is a phonological process whereby a consonant that is normally voiced becomes devoiced due to the influence of a phonological element in its phonological environment. This process is different from the concept of a consonant being voiceless. The difference is that voiceless consonants are always voiceless, whereas a devoiced consonant is one that is usually voiced, but which becomes unvoiced under very specific circumstances.
