Phonemes are the smallest units of sound in a language that can distinguish meaning between words. They are the basic building blocks of spoken language and can vary across languages. In English, for example, the sounds "b" and "p" represent different phonemes because they can change the meaning of a word (e.g., "bat" vs. "pat").

There are some rules with hard and soft C/G. The hard C makes a K sound, which is the regular pronunciation while the soft C makes an S sound. The hard G sounds almost like a K, but in a voiced sound or a voiced K, which is the regular pronunciation and the soft G makes a J sound. The hard pronunciation sound is the regular pronunciation. Whether the C/G is hard or soft, it depends on the following letters. If the C/G is followed by an E, I, or Y, which are the softeners, then they'll soften into an S/J sound. If the C/G is followed by anything else or it ends a word, then they'll remain hard.

Hard C=K Sound

Soft C=S Sound

Hard G=G Sound

Soft G=J Sound

C/G→E, I, Y=Soft Sound (S/J)

C/G→Anything Else=Hard Sound (K/G)

The soft C rules doesn't cause any problem because the C have another same sound letter, which is K, so if the following letters is a softener, the K can just replace the C. The soft G rules can cause some problem because the G doesn't another same sound letter, therefore if we still want a hard G sound, English is forced to stick with the G. That's why the soft G rules doesn't work as often as C. There are some rule-breaker exceptions like gear, get, gelding, give, girl, giggle, gift, tiger, gill, etc. Verb suffixes like singing, hanging, etc. then that's when the G remains hard despite the following softeners. Here are some rule-breaker exceptions with the soft G rule:

anger, hunger, burger, bagel, gibbon, gibbous, geese, eager, fungi, login, begin, singer, hanger, Giza, gecko, linger, together
