phoneme / / like f and v make a minimal pairs like fan-van but
allophones [ ] cant found in minimal pairs but founded in complementary distribution
The decision on which phoneme is standard and which are its allophones depends on the distribution of sounds in a language. If two sounds do not contrast in a way that changes the meaning of a word, they are likely allophones of the same phoneme. Analyzing minimal pairs and complementary distribution can help identify the standard phoneme and its allophones.
Allophones are variations of a phoneme that do not change the meaning of a word. They are considered to be predictable and context-dependent variants of a phoneme, rather than distinct phonemes themselves. Phonemes, on the other hand, are the smallest units of sound that can distinguish meaning between words in a given language.
Allophones of the same phoneme are phonetically similar because they share phonological features and are perceived as the same sound by speakers of a language. These variations in pronunciation are conditioned by their phonetic environment and do not change the meaning of a word.
In English, /t/ and /d/ are considered different phonemes because they can change the meaning of a word when substituted for each other (e.g., "tack" vs. "back"). However, in some dialects or speech patterns, they may be realized as allophones of the same phoneme when in certain positions or environments.
A variant form of the same phoneme is known as an allophone. Allophones are different pronunciation of the same sound within a language and do not change the meaning of a word.

Allophone is any speech sound that represents a single phoneme. The K in kit and skit are allophones of the phoneme K.

In phonetics, an allotone is any of the pitch allophones of a pitch phoneme.
In phoneme theory, the functional view focuses on how phonemes, which are abstract units of sound in a language, function within the linguistic system to distinguish meaning between words. Phonemes can change in their pronunciation (allophones) depending on their position in a word or the sounds around them, but they are perceived as the same phoneme by speakers of a language. The functional view considers how phonemes interact in the grammar of a language to signal differences in meaning.
Words that differ in meaning due to a difference in a single phoneme are called minimal pairs.
Allophonic variants are different ways that a single phoneme can be realized in actual speech due to variations in pronunciation caused by factors like neighboring sounds or phonetic environment. These variants do not change the meaning of a word but may vary in their acoustic properties.
In some languages like Japanese, l and r are considered allophones of a single phoneme because speakers use them interchangeably without causing changes in word meaning. In languages like English, l and r are distinct phonemes, meaning substituting one for the other can create a difference in word meaning (e.g., "light" and "right").
Very funny this is
