Abstract:

Knowledge of phonetics and Phonemes is of fundamental importance for the understanding of a language. Linguistics also discusses the history, evolution, and interrelationship of these languages. Every subject that is directly or indirectly related to language falls under the scope of linguistics, whether, it is related to lexicography, rule writing, phonetics, phonemics, stylistics, morphology or any field. Phonetics and phoneme are the two main branches of linguistics, Phonetics usually emphasizes the pronunciation of sounds, the place of pronunciation, and the style of pronunciation, whereas phonemes do not give much importance to the pronunciation of sounds, i.e. it is not seen what the pronunciation of the word is, how it is played or which organs are moved when playing the letters. Whereas phonemes usually examine the sounds that are semantically important, and these sounds are considered to be the basic sounds of the language, which are meaningful. The presence or absence of a phoneme in the word changes the meaning of the word. Therefore, these branches of linguistics must be understood by the language expert and a common reader, they make it easier to understand the meaning, style of play, meaning and pronunciation of the words.
