In English and most other European languages‚ P is a voiceless bilabial plosive. Both initial and final ‹p›s can be combined with many other discrete consonants in English words.

A common digraph in English is ‹ph›‚ which represents the voiceless labiodental fricative /f/‚ and can be used to transliterate

Top Phonemes and Allophones When linguists study the sounds of a language they observe how the sounds are made and classify them as vowels‚ consonants‚ etc. They also study how those sounds correlate with words that have different meanings. They do this by finding pairs of words that differ by a single sound (through listening‚ not reading). If there are at least two such pairs of words with a different meaning for each member of the pair‚ then it is assumed that the variation is used to distinguish

Modernism as a movement was a response to the horrors of World War-I and to the rising industrial societies and growth of cities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It challenged the harmony and the rationality of the Enlightenment and sought to reinvent art and literature of the age. To do so‚ it broke away from the works of the past and conventions that were earlier held at a pedestal. The conception that reality could be easily be comprehended was replaced by modernism with a more
