Sound/IPA symbols. International Phonetic Alphabet. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)[note 1] is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet.
It was devised by the International Phonetic Association as a standardized representation of the sounds of oral language.[1] The IPA is used by lexicographers, foreign language students and teachers, linguists, speech-language pathologists, singers, actors, constructed language creators, and translators.[2][3] History[edit] The International Phonetic Alphabet - Audio Illustrations.

International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) Origin The IPA was first published in 1888 by the Association Phonétique Internationale (International Phonetic Association), a group of French language teachers founded by Paul Passy.
The aim of the organisation was to devise a system for transcribing the sounds of speech which was independent of any particular language and applicable to all languages. A phonetic script for English created in 1847 by Isaac Pitman and Henry Ellis was used as a model for the IPA. Uses. Phonetic transcription. Phonetic transcription versus orthography[edit] The pronunciation of words in many languages, as distinct from their written form (orthography), has undergone significant change over time.
Pronunciation can also vary greatly among dialects of a language. Traditional orthography in some languages, particularly French and English, often differs from the pronunciation. For example, the words "bough" and "through" do not rhyme in English, even though their spellings might suggest they do. As well, each contains a silent 'gh'. Therefore, phonetic transcription can provide a function that orthography cannot. History[edit] Narrow versus broad transcription[edit] Ipachart. IPA character picker 11.
