Phonetics is a branch of linguistics that focuses on the production and classification of the world’s speech sounds (Centre for Linguistics Research, n.d.). The production of speech looks at the interaction of different vocal organs (e.g., lips, tongue, teeth) to produce particular speech sounds (Centre for Linguistics Research, n.d.).
