What is a "phone"?

A phone is a specific sound produced during speech that can be identified as a physical sound unit. In phonetics, it refers to any distinct sound that is made, without considering its role or meaning within a particular language's sound system. For example, the "p" sound in "pat" and the "b" sound in "bat" are both phones, as they represent unique sounds produced by the vocal apparatus. Studying phones helps linguists analyze the various sounds in human speech, contributing to a better understanding of how language is formed and pronounced.
