Not who you're looking for? Others named phone: 2002 South Korean horror film directed by Ahn Byeong-ki · 2017 novel by Will Self
In phonetics, a phone is any distinct speech sound. It is any surface-level or unanalyzed sound of a language, the smallest identifiable unit occurring inside a stream of speech. In spoken human language, a phone is thus any vowel or consonant sound. In sign languages, a phone is the equivalent of a unit of gesture.
