“The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) was established in 1886 in Paris. The aim of the IPA is to promote the scientific study of phonetics and the various practical applications of that science. In furtherance of this aim, the IPA provides the academic community world-wide with a notational standard for the phonetic representation of all languages. The latest version of the IPA Alphabet was published in 2005.”

  In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can. O IPA é um alfabeto de sons. Embora o simbolo de alguns sons se pareçam com letras, devemos lembrar que eles nem sempre representam o som em sua representação gráfica com a qual estamos acosutmados. e.g.: o 'x' não é som ks e nem sh, mas sim voiceless uvular fricative.
