   >in English (phonology), the H, and P,  B sounds are related?   
      
   Please define you specific notion of "related" first, before anyone   
   could even hope to answer you question sensibly.   
      
   >common phrase  Hanky-Panky contains a H-P contrast

   >    ........  the H, P, and B sounds in English phonology are related!   
   >   
   >They are all classified as bilabial consonants, meaning they are   
   >produced by closing your two lips together. However, they differ in   
   >their voicing:   
   >   
   >P: A voiceless bilabial plosive. When you pronounce "p", you close your   
   >lips completely and then release the built-up air with a pop. No   
   >vibration occurs in your vocal cords.   
   >   
   >B: A voiced bilabial plosive. Pronouncing "b" is similar to "p" but with   
   >vibration in your vocal cords along with the lip closure and release.   
   >This vibration creates a buzzing sound.   
   >   
   >H: A voiceless glottal fricative. This might seem like an outlier, but   
   >hear me out.   
   >   
   >                In English, "h" is often produced by creating a slight   
   >puff of air by bringing your vocal cords close together, but not   
   >vibrating them, and opening your lips slightly.
