V. Introduction
a. International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), an alphabet developed in the 19th century to
accurately represent the pronunciation of languages. One aim of the International
Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) was to provide a unique symbol for each distinctive sound in a
language—that is, every sound, or phoneme, that serves to distinguish one word from
another. It is the most common example of phonetic transcription.
