The answer to the question is False i.e A phoneme is not the largest unit of sound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phoneme is related to linguistics or the sound system of language which is the language specific.

It is defined as the smallest contrastive unit of sound in speech which can give a distinct meaning. It distinguishes one word from the other word in a unique way .When we put all the phonemes of a particular word, the corresponding word is formed .
