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.
