Generation

# The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) The IPA is a standardized system of phonetic notation using Latin and Greek letters plus diacritics to represent every distinct sound (phoneme) in human spoken language. Each symbol corresponds to one specific sound, regardless of how different languages spell that sound in their writing systems. **Why it matters:** The IPA allows linguists, language learners, and speech professionals to precisely transcribe and communicate pronunciation across all languages without ambiguity, since regular spelling systems are inconsistent (e.g., "gh" in "tough," "though," and "ghost"). It's essential for dictionaries, language teaching, speech therapy, and linguistic research because it provides a universal notation where one symbol always equals one sound.
