Phonology is a subfield of linguistics which studies the sound system of a language. The root "phone" in phonology relates to sounds and originates from the Greek word "phonema" which means sound (Arher, 1994). Phonology seeks todiscern the sounds made in all human languages. The identification of universal and non-universal qualities of sounds is a crucial component in phonology as all languages use syllables and forms of vowels and consonants. Every language has a precisely defined set of sounds.
