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.
There are 24 consonants and 20 vowels in the English language. The most commonly mispronounced sounds are s,l,r. Boys are more likely than girls to have difficulty pronouncing sounds. Typically a child would be using all sounds correctly by 7 years old.
