What word is used to describe speech patterns?

Question

By speech patterns I mean writing out how an accent sounds. The form of writing used to analyze accents and ways of speaking in the past. I was watching The Lighthouse yesterday and I remember hearing that the director studied this type of writing when giving his characters accents. I’ve been trying to remember the word since I watched it. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

I figured out the word by looking for the video that was talking about how the director studied the dialect. The word I was thinking of was “vernacular.” I found that the way I was describing it was more along the lines of “phonetics.”
