The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet, devised by the International Phonetic Association as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language. The IPA is used by foreign language students and teachers, linguists, speech pathologists and therapists, singers, actors, lexicographers, and translators.

The IPA is designed to represent only those qualities of speech that are distinctive in spoken language: phonemes, intonation, and the separation of words and syllables. To represent additional qualities of speech such as tooth gnashing, lisping, and sounds made with a cleft palate, an extended set of symbols called the Extensions to the IPA is used.

Occasionally symbols are added, removed, or modified by the International Phonetic Association. As of 2008, there are 107 distinct letters, 52 diacritics, and four prosody marks in the IPA proper.

A. IPA is an alphabet in which the symbols represent sounds (phonemes, from the Greek "Phono": Sound). It's international because sounds are (contrary to the letters used in written language) universal. For example: the two words "though" and "thought" are much alike. Looking at just the spelling, one could think "thought" is pronounced the same way as "though", just with a T behind it. Obviously, this is not the case. In International Phonetics Alphabet, it's possible to show the sounds a word is made out of. It is used in dictionaries and foreign language or linguistics classes. Though is: _p_o_(w) Thought is: _ _ :_t_ (" : " makes the previous sound stretched) (disregard the underscores) (here you can see that actually none of… [cont.]
