PHONETICS
The word Phonetics has its roots in the Greek word ‘Phone’ which means
‘sound/voice’. Phonetics is the systematic study of speech sounds and their
articulation, audition and perception.
In English there are twenty-six letters but forty-four sounds. The Speechsounds in English are divided into two main categories: vowel sounds andconsonant sounds.
Vowel Sounds:A vowel is a voiced sound in the production of which there is no obstruction of airflow anywhere through its passage from the lungs. There are twenty vowelsounds which are subdivided into Monophthongs or Pure Vowels (twelve)and Diphthongs or Vowel glides (eight). Out of twelve vowels there areseven Short Vowels and five Long Vowels. A diphthong is a combination of two vowel sounds. It is a glide from one vowel sound to another, as in boy.
