In (Standard British) English there are approximately 44 speech sounds.
The number of speech sounds in English varies from dialect to dialect, and any actual tally depends greatly on the interpretation of the researcher doing the counting.

Answer:

Spoken English uses 45 sounds.  

The sounds of spoken language are known as phonemes.  

In English, the written equivalent of sounds or phonemes are known as graphemes, and the English alphabet made up of the 26 letters is called the orthographic alphabet.  

In English, not all words have a phoneme/grapheme match. English is thus classified as a semi-phonetic language: that is, sometimes graphemes correspond to phonemes, and sometimes they do not.  

In order to study the sounds of English, linguists devised an alphabet which contains symbols to capture all possible sounds in English, called the International Phonetic Alphabet.

To Study the I.P.A, please visit the youtube channel "Brain Blitz Audios" and watch the video "De-Coding IPA | Learn the 45 Sounds of English Scientifically | The International Phonetic Alphabet"
