What is Phonetics

Phonetics is a regulation of linguistics that focuses on the study of the sounds used in speech. Phonetics is strongly correlated to phonology, which is the focus on how sounds are understood in a given language, and semiotics, which looks at symbols themselves. In this article one will understand the three major sub fields of phonetics with a particular feature of the sounds used in communication. A special alphabet has been used for the describing of all of the different sounds used in the human speech. There are different groups of sounds depending on the use of the air in the lungs.
