The word phonology derived from two Greek words. The first one is phone means 'voice, sound.' The second one is logos means 'word, speech, subject of discussion.' So we can say, the study of the ways in which speech sounds from system and pattern is called phonology.
The term phonology, like grammar, is used in two ways: as the mental representation of linguistic knowledge and as the description of this knowledge. If phonetics can be linked to a world, phonology is a country. Phonology has in fact been called functional phonetics. It is a separate study include language. The phonology of all language is different.
