View source for International Phonetic Alphabet

The '''International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)''' is a system of sound representation that consistently and unambiguously sets a one-to-one correspondence between sounds and symbols. For example the symbol [s] always corresponds to a voiceless [[Alveolar (definition)|alveolar]] [[Fricative (definition)|fricative]]; in turn, a voiceless alveolar fricative is always represented by a [s]. A full chart of the IPA can be found at the first wikipedia link below.
