The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet

The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet






This chart contains all the sounds (phonemes) used in the English
language. For each sound, it gives:

• 
  The symbol from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), as
  used
  in phonetic
  transcriptions in modern dictionaries
  for English learners — that is, in A. C. Gimson's phonemic system
  with a few additional symbols.
  The chart represents British and American phonemes with one symbol. One
  symbol can
  mean two different phonemes in
  American and British English. See the footnotes for British-only and
  American-only symbols.
  
• 
  Two English words which use the sound. The underline shows
  where the sound is heard.
  
• 
  The links labeled Amer and Brit play sound recordings
  (you need Flash 9 or higher)
  where the words are pronounced
  in American and British English. The British version is given only where
  it is very
  different from the American version.
