IPA Chart
The IPA Chart, or International Phonetic Alphabet Chart, is a visual representation of the sounds used in spoken languages. It categorizes these sounds into consonants, vowels, and suprasegmentals, providing a standardized way to transcribe speech. Each symbol corresponds to a specific sound, making it easier for linguists, language learners, and educators to understand pronunciation across different languages.
The chart is organized by articulatory features, such as where and how sounds are produced in the vocal tract. For example, it distinguishes between voiced and voiceless consonants, as well as front and back vowels. This systematic approach helps in accurately representing the phonetic nuances of various languages.
