| American English has several sets of sound pairs. These are shown in the chart above. The letters on each side are pronounced in the same position, yet one letter has a stronger sound than the other. It is important to understand sound pairs in order to speak clearly. With a few pairs, there are interactions in pronunciation–a perfect example is the T = D rule. S, Z, SH, and ZH also interchange a little bit. The other sound pairs do not. Each sound is distinct. |
