A phoneme is a group of sounds that have psychological meaning and reality in a language. Edward Sapir used this notion in his explanation of the unconscious patternings found in language and culture. The phoneme concept was a driving force in the development of phonological theory and structural linguistics, but fell out of fashion with the rise of generative phonology starting in the 1960s. However, the idea of phonemes as representing the phonetic inventory of a language has now been fruitfully taken up by those interested in language evolution, language origins, and human geography
