v w zd

It is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on

the Latin alphabet. The IPA is designed to represent only those

qualities of speech that are part of oral language: phones, phonemes,

intonation, and the separation of words and syllables. IPA symbolsare composed of one or more elements of two basic types, letters

and diacritics.

The general principle

The general principle of IPA is to provide one letter for each

distinctive sound:

large

What is the Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)?

It does not normally use combinations of letters to represent single sounds or

represent multiple sounds.

There are no letters that have context-dependent sound values

Finally, the IPA does not usually have separate letters for two soundslanguage makes a distinction between them.

Types of transcription

There are two principal types of brackets used to set off IPA

transcriptions:

[square brackets] are used with phonetic notations, possibly

including details of the pronunciation that may not be used fordistinguishing words in the language being transcribed, but which

the author nonetheless wishes to document.

/slashes/ are used for phonemic notations, which note only

features that are distinctive in the language, without any extraneous

detail.

Double slashes //...//, pipes |...|, double pipes ||...||, or braces

{...} may be used around a

word to denote its underlying structure, more abstract even than that

of phonemes.
