International Phonetic Alphabet chart


The following is the chart of the International Phonetic Alphabet, a standardized system of phonetic symbols devised and maintained by the International Phonetic Association. It is not a complete list of all possible speech sounds in the world's languages, only those about which stand-alone articles exist in this encyclopedia.

Symbols to the right in a cell are voiced, to the left are voiceless. Shaded areas denote articulations judged impossible.
