Phone

A phone is a speech sound considered as a physical event without regard to its place in the sound system of a language (see phonology and phonetics).

A phoneme is a set of phones that carry the same meaning; different phones that are interpreted as the same phoneme in a language are said to be allophones of each other.


Phone is a colloquial term for telephone; it is also a verb meaning to call someone on a telephone.
