Phonemes

Say which of the following groups of phonemes contains one which is not an English phoneme.

Listening to a Portuguese conversation is an unreal experience. A completely opaque string of phonemes, occasionally punctuated by a crystal-clear "Sim, senhor."

The two phones, which initially were allophones of a single phoneme, became distinct phonemes as a result of these sound changes.

The Taa language, also known as ǃXóõ, is native to Botswana and Namibia, and of particular interest to linguists due to its large number of phonemes and frequent use of click consonants.

English is full of ambiguous, nebulous phonemes, so English-language pop music attracts many who like such sounds.

The English language should really have more letters than 26, or at least, it should use accents to cover all the phonemes that it has. Anglophones know that their language cannot be reformed.

Some people hate English because they could not master it. They do not know the underlying phonemes masked by the seemingly unorganized orthography. The grammar bewilders them despite long years in schooling.

Some opine that French as written is much like English in character. There are silent letters and contorted letter sequences. However, closer study would show that French orthography is much more consistent than English is in the way that specific letter sequences match phonemes. In any case, French does sound more fluid than does choppy English.
