eli5 What is the word for a vowel and a consonant?

264 views

What I mean is, if I were to make a list of them, what would I name the list?
What’s a word for both of them?
Sorry if this is silly but I have trouble looking stuff like this up. Thanks for your time!
Edit: Thanks everyone! I think the word I was looking for was “phoneme”.
Sorry, I probably didn’t ask this clearly enough I was trying to find the word for the types of letters.

You could also be thinking of digraphs (e.g., the “ph” sound) and blends (e.g., the “bl” sound).
