All of the sounds or handshapes in a language can be pronounced differently depending on the context. The study of these patterns and variations is known as phonology. We learn all about phonology and the different phonological systems we see in different languages, and we’ll begin to retrain our brains in order to gain a better understanding and appreciation for phonological patterns.
