Phonemes, letters and allophones. A phoneme is a single unit of sound that has meaning in any language. There are 44 phonemes in English (in the standard British model), each one representing a different sound a person can make. Since there are only 26 letters in the alphabet, sometimes letter combinations need to be used to make a phoneme.
Look up phoneme in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. A phoneme (/ËfoÊniËm/) is one of the units of sound (or gesture in the case of sign languages, see chereme) that distinguish one word from another in a particular language. In most dialects of English, the difference in meaning between the words kill /kÉªl/ and kiss /kÉªs/ is a result of the substitution of one phoneme, /l/, for another phoneme, /s/.
