Ipa Interactive Chart

Interactive IPA Chart The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a set of symbols that linguists use to describe the sounds of spoken languages. This page lets you hear the sounds that the symbols represent, but remember that it is only a rough guide. There is lots of variation in how these sounds are said depending on the language and context.

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