Abstract
The existence of 'minimal pairs' is functional, which is a method of proofing a phoneme to be categorized as an individual and phonemic phoneme, so the function of 'minimal pairs' can be used according to the accurate number of Indonesian phonemes. There are 33 phonemes existed: seven vowel phonemes, three diphthong phonemes, and 23 consonant phonemes. The theory applied in this research is the linguistic theory of the phonological branch of the phonemic subfield. The method of providing data stars from the application of the referral / listening method with the recording technique on the data card. The data analysis method is based on the internal structure of words with substitution techniques. The final results can be proven that the 33 phonemes are truly individual and phonemic phonemes. In order to examine the actual words’ meaning paired in 'minimal pairs', the existence of the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia is crucial.
