Sign in to savethumb|A simplified procedure to determine whether two sounds represent the same or different phonemes. The cases on the extreme left and the extreme right are those in which the sounds are allophones.|class=skin-invert-image
An allophone is a variation of a sound in a language that doesn't change the meaning of words—for example, the different ways you might pronounce the "p" sound in "spin" versus "pin." Understanding allophones matters because it helps linguists figure out which sound differences are actually important to a language's meaning and which are just natural variations in how people speak.
