Answer:

The answer is "phonemes".

Step-by-step explanation:

The phoneme seems to be a speech production entity, that has no sense by itself, although they are capable of writing phrases whenever they bring consonants combined.

  • It has different tones which distinguish among one and another word.
  • It may be difficult to count them since noises are made in various forms and combinations.
  • Via means of phonemes, readers are able to properly speak words and understand its concepts.
