International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a standardized system of phonetic notation used to represent the sounds of spoken language.

It provides a set of symbols, each representing a specific speech sound or phoneme, along with a consistent set of principles for their use.

The IPA allows linguists, language learners, and educators to accurately transcribe and describe the pronunciation of words in any language, facilitating the study and comparison of different languages’ phonological systems.

With its broad range of symbols and diacritics, the IPA enables precise and detailed representations of speech sounds, including distinctions that may not exist in the written form of a language.
