Unlikeඉංග්රීසිවල English,දී whenමෙන් youනොව, pronounceප්රංශවල the lettersදී ''b'' andසහ ''p'' inඅකුරු Frenchඋච්චාරණය කිරීමේදී, littleකටින් toමද noවාතයේ airසිට shouldවාතය comeපිට outනොවන ofතැනට yourපැමිණිය mouthයුතුය. In terms of phonetics, the difference in the French ''b'' and ''p'' and their English counterparts is one of aspiration. Fortunately, in English both aspirated and unaspirated variants (allophones) exist, but only in specific environments. If you're a native speaker, say the word ''pit'' and then the word ''spit'' out loud. Did you notice the extra puff of air in the first word that doesn't come with the second? The ''p'' in 'pit' is aspirated ({{ප්රංශ/IPA|[pʰ]}}); the ''p'' in 'spit' is not (like the ''p'' in ''any'' position in French).
