−	Phonemes are ~~contrastive~~ sounds.	+	Phonemes are sounds that make a contrast in meaning. For example, in English <nowiki>/p/ and /b/</nowiki> are different phonemes, because they distinguish the words ''pat'' and ''bat''. Variant pronunciations of a sound are called [[Allophone (definition)\|allophones]]. At the ends of words in English, [[Aspiration (definition)\|aspirated]] [[Stop (definition)\|stops]] such as <nowiki> such as [pʰ] </nowiki> and [[Unaspirated (definition)\|unaspirated]] stops such as <nowiki>[p]</nowiki> are allophones of the same phoneme /p/, because words like top can be pronounced as either [tʰɑpʰ] or [tʰɑp]. Traditionally phonemes are written between slashes (/ /) and allophones are transcribed in square brackets <nowiki> [ ] </nowiki>.

		+	Is the smallest unit of sound which represent an orthographic symbol or a combination of orthographic symbols that may be combined to form a morpheme, or word. For example, in English the letters “T and H” form one sound, and the phoneme the two create is the interdental fricative that is represented in IPA as: /θ/(unvoiced)or /ð/ (voiced). So given the transcription,/ðə/ for "the", each symbol ð and ə is a '''phoneme''' which represents a sound.
