Pourquoi 48 unités

The 44 core phonemes are followed by /tr/, /dr/, /ts/, and /dz/, four combinations commonly taught as separate units in Chinese English courses. Modern phonology usually treats those four as consonant clusters, so they are labeled clearly here rather than counted as independent phonemes.
