) An old IPA symbol for light aspiration was ( that is, like a rotated ejective symbol ), but this is no longer commonly used.

Since the number of possible sounds in all of the world's languages is much greater than the number of letters in any one alphabet, linguists have devised systems such as the International Phonetic Alphabet ( IPA ) to assign a unique and unambiguous symbol to each attested consonant.

In IPA, a click is symbolized by placing the assigned symbol for the place of click articulation adjacent to a symbol for a nonclick sound at the rear place of articulation.

As noted above, clicks necessarily involve at least two closures, which in some cases operate partially independently: an anterior articulation which has traditionally been represented by the special click symbol in the IPA, and a posterior articulation which has been traditionally described as oral or nasal, voiced or voiceless, etc.

The table below shows the approximate distribution of the vowels as pronounced in Modern Standard Danish, and the symbol used in IPA for Danish.

The initial of tao / dao 道 is a tenuis voiceless alveolar plosive, which is commonly transcribed with the IPA symbol, although some sinologists specify or with the voiceless under-ring diacritic.

It is encoded in Unicode as U + 025B (" Latin small letter open e ", ) and U + 0190 (" Latin capital letter open e ", ) and is used as an IPA phonetic symbol.

Lower-case eth is used as a symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet ( IPA ), again for a voiced dental fricative, and in IPA usage, the name of the symbol is pronounced with the same voiced sound, as ( the IPA symbol for the voiceless dental fricative is θ ).

If a trill is made with the tip of the tongue against the upper gum, it is called an apical ( tongue-tip ) alveolar trill ; the IPA symbol for this sound is.

The IPA symbol for this sound is.

The IPA symbol for the alveolar approximant is and the symbol for the retroflex approximant is.

There are a series of stops in Korean, sometimes written with the IPA symbol for ejectives, which are produced using " stiff voice ", meaning there is increased contraction of the glottis than for normal production of voiceless stops.

A special triangular colon symbol is used in IPA to indicate that the preceding sound is long.

* — the IPA symbol for postalveolar click in speech

Furthermore, the er sound of fur or butter, is realized in AmE as a monophthongal r-colored vowel ( stressed or unstressed as represented in the IPA ).

The diacritic for aspiration in the International Phonetic Alphabet ( IPA ) is a superscript " h ", ⟨⟩.

Unaspirated consonants are not normally marked explicitly, but there is a diacritic for non-aspiration in the Extensions to the IPA, the superscript equal sign, ⟨⟩.

Its IPA transcription is

The vowel inventory, or collection of phonemic vowels ( and the major allophones ), transcribed in IPA symbols, is:

The anterior articulation defines the click type and is written with the IPA letter for the click ( dental ⟨⟩, alveolar ⟨⟩, etc.

Accordingly, grok is generally pronounced as a guttural gr terminated by a sharp k with very little or no vowel sound ( a narrow IPA transcription might be ).

The International Phonetic Alphabet ( IPA ) is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet.

Hebrew ： י ִ ר ְ מ ְ י ָ ה, Modern Hebrew: Yirməyāhū, IPA: jirməˈjaːhu, Tiberian: Yirmĭyahu, Greek: Ἰερεμίας, ) meaning " Yah exalts ", also called the " Weeping prophet " was one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible.

It does not include OpenType features and kerning, but it adds support to Latin Extended-B and Greek characters, with Frutiger 55 supporting extra IPA characters, spacing modifier letters.

In ancient Greek and Roman sexuality, a tribas, or tribade ( IPA :), was a woman or intersex individual who actively penetrated another person ( male or female ) through use of the clitoris or a dildo.

While based on the Latin alphabet, IPA also contains invented letters, Greek letters, and numerous diacritics.

The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨⟩ ( a variant of the Greek letter gamma, ⟨ γ ⟩, which is used for this sound in Modern Greek ), also graphically similar to ⟨⟩, the IPA symbol for a close-mid back unrounded vowel ), and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is < tt > G </ tt >.

The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨⟩, a lowercase barred letter o, and should not be confused with the Greek letter theta, ⟨ θ ⟩, which in IPA corresponds to a consonant sound, the voiceless dental fricative.

Several Greek letters are used as phonetic symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet ( IPA ).

An updated version of the roman and italic fonts called Gentium Plus, which includes the full extended Latin, IPA, Greek, and Cyrillic coverage, was released in November 2010.

Based on Lucida Sans Regular, it added characters in Arrows, Block Elements, Box Drawing, Combining Diacritical Marks, Control Pictures, Currency Symbols, Cyrillic, General Punctuation, Geometric Shapes, Greek and Coptic, Hebrew, IPA Extensions, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B, Letterlike Symbols, Mathematical Operators, Miscellaneous Symbols, Miscellaneous Technical, Spacing Modifier Letters, Superscripts and Subscripts regions.

Unlike the IPA, Americanist phonetic notation does not require a strict harmony among character styles: letters from the Greek and Roman alphabets are used side-by-side.

Another contrasting feature is that the Americanist tradition relies heavily on diacritics where the IPA, which reserves diacritics for specific uses, relies on newly created Greek and Roman letters with character shape modifications.

Oktōēchos ( here transcribed " Octoechos "; Greek:: oktoˈixos, Wikipedia: IPA for Greek | old Greek: oktɔːˈɛːkʰos, from " eight " + " sound, mode " called echos ; Slavonic: Октоихъ, Oktoikh, or Осмогласникъ, Osmoglasnik from о ́ семь " eight " and гласъ " voice ") is the name of the eight mode system used for the composition of religious chant in Byzantine, Syrian, Coptic, Armenian, Latin and Slavic churches since the Middle Ages.

Although many of its characters are also used in standard Latin, Greek, Cyrillic orthographies or the IPA, and are found in the corresponding Unicode blocks, many are not.

This should be clearly distinguished from Unicode characters that are rendered as identical glyphs or near-identical glyphs ( homoglyphs ), either because they are historically cognate ( such as Greek Η vs. Latin H ) or because of coincidental similarity ( such as Greek Ρ vs. Latin P, or Greek Η vs. Cyrillic Н, or the astronomical symbol for " Sun " ☉ vs. " circled dot operator " ⊙ vs. the Gothic letter vs. the IPA symbol for a bilabial click ʘ ).

The UTF-8 scripts are those scripts where UTF-8 only requires fewer than three bytes per character ( only one byte for the ASCII-equivalent Basic Latin block, digits and most punctuation marks ) and include: Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, Thaana, N ' Ko, and the IPA and other Latin-based phonetic alphabets.

The following table gives the letters of the Bulgarian alphabet, along with the IPA values for the sound of each letter:

The lower-case letter has been adopted to represent a voiced dental fricative in the IPA.

The following table lists each letter in its modern order, showing an image of the letter ( round variant ), the corresponding modern Cyrillic letter, the approximate sound transcribed with the IPA, the name, and suggestions for its origin.

For example, the sound of the English letter ⟨ t ⟩ may be transcribed in IPA with a single letter,, or with a letter plus diacritics,, depending on how precise one wishes to be.

Although the IPA has no dedicated diacritic for slack voice, the voiceless diacritic ( the under-ring ) may be used with a voiced consonant letter, though this convention is also used for partially voiced consonants in languages such as English.

POJ, Legge romanization, Simplified Wade, and EFEO Chinese transcription use the letter h instead of an apostrophe to indicate aspiration ( this is similar to the superscript used in IPA ).

The following table provides the upper and lower case forms of the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, along with the Serbian Latin equivalent and the IPA value for each letter, in Cyrillic sort order:

* In modern Danish, Faroese, and Norwegian, the letter is a monophthongal close-mid front rounded vowel, the IPA symbol for which is also.

The following table provides the letter, the syllable onset in IPA, and the way the letter is referred to in Burmese, which may be either a descriptive name or just the sound of the letter, arranged in the traditional alphabet:

The Tajik Cyrillic alphabet also contains the letter, Ӣ ӣ, which has been transcribed in IPA as with an off glide of the semivowel,.

The system uses almost all lower-case letters to represent the directly corresponding IPA character, but unlike X-SAMPA has the notable exception of the letter ' r '.

The Unicode character " Latin small letter G " ( U + 0067 ) renders as either an opentail G or a looptail G depending on font, while the character " Latin small letter script G " ( U + 0261 ) is always an opentail G, but is generally available only in fonts with the IPA Extensions character block.

The IPA symbol is a lowercase letter n with a leftward tail protruding from the bottom of the right stem of the letter.

The IPA symbol is a lowercase letter m with a leftward hook protruding from the lower right of the letter.
