Pertaining to speech sounds (T, not M) (8)

I believe the answer is:

phonetic

(Other definitions for phonetic that I've seen before include "Representing what's said" , "representing vocal sounds" , "(Spelling) as pronounced" , "Relating to speech sounds" , "Of spelling, corresponding to pronunciation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
