The International Phonetic
Alphabet, also known as the IPA
Chart, is a system of symbols used to
represent the sounds of spoken
language. It is designed to provide a
consistent way to describe the
pronunciation of words across different
languages. Ouch!
Each symbol corresponds to a specific
sound (phoneme), so words can be
transcribed in a way that accurately
captures their pronunciation,
regardless of how they're spelled.
