Generation

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a standardized system of phonetic notation designed to represent all sounds (phonemes) used in human spoken language. Created by the International Phonetic Association, it uses unique symbols to transcribe the precise pronunciation of words across any language, enabling linguists, language learners, and speech professionals to communicate about sounds unambiguously. The IPA is based on the **principle of one-to-one correspondence**: one symbol represents one distinct sound, regardless of how that sound is spelled in different writing systems. This system includes symbols for consonants, vowels, suprasegmentals (stress, tone, length), and diacritics to mark subtle sound variations.
