THE INTERNATIONAL

PHONETIC ALPHABET

By. Ms. Rivera

IPA
The International Phonetic Alphabet
A series of symbols that make up different
sounds.
Phoneme:
The smallest unit in a language capable of
convexing distinction in meaning.

IPA - PHONEME
Vowels
They are Open (no obstruction to
breath stream)
All Vowels are voiced

Consonants
Obstruction in breath stream
Total Obstruction ex: M, B, & P
Partial Obstruction ex: S & Z

All Voiced sound is produced in the


Larynx (Voice Box)

Can be voiced or voiceless

Monophthongs

Affricate Sounds

Single individual symbols


Ex: //

Diphthongs
Two symbols come together to make
one new sound.
Ex: //

Has individual symbols


When you take 2 consonant sounds and
make it into one sound.
Only 2 of these exist in the English
language.
Ex: /tt/ = chh

IPA RULES
1.Symbols: Represent Pronunciation. (THEY ARE NOT
LETTERS!)
2.Each symbol represents a sound.
The symbol ALWAYS makes the same sound. (ONE
SYMBOL ONE SOUND).

slashes / /.

All writing is done in lowercase.
