About

The word 语音 is formed through semantic compounding, where two independent characters, each with their own meaning, are combined to create a new, related concept. The first character 语 (yǔ) means "language" or "speech", and the second character 音 (yīn) means "sound". When placed together, they literally and conceptually merge to mean "the sound of speech", or more naturally, "voice" or "phonetic sound", representing the audible, spoken form of language.
