Phonetics :-
Phonetics is a branch of linguistics which is concerned with the production of speech sounds by humans.

As a science, it also deals with the articulation, description, classification and production of speech sounds.
Phonetics can be sub divided into three branches :-
Let's discuss them briefly one by one:
1) Articulatory phonetics :-
It studies the movements of speech organs which produce sounds of a language. These various organs of speech such as lips, tongue, larynx, teeth, soft and hard palate etc. by their restricted movements produce various speech sounds. These organs take part in the articulation of words.
2) Acoustic phonetics :-
This branch deals with the sound waves or the physical properties of the sounds. It studies the properties of the sound waves formed as a consequence of the disturbances in the air.
3) Auditory phonetics :-

Phonology :-
Phonology is a branch in linguistics concerned with the study of the sound system of a language.
