International Phonetic Alphabet




Is a system of phonetic notation based on the Latin alphabet, devised by the International Phonetic Association (IPA) as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language.
The general principle of the IPA is to provide one symbol for each distinctive sound (or speech segment). This means that it does not use letter combinations to represent single sounds, or single letters to represent multiple sounds (the way represents [ks] or [gz] in English).
