The International Phonetic Alphabet is an alphabetic system of
phonetic notation
based primarily on the
Latin alphabet
. It was devised by the
International Phonetic Association
as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language.

Within the chart “close”, “open”, “mid”, “front”, “central”, and “back” refer to the placement of the sound within the mouth.

At points where two sounds share an intersection, the left is unrounded, and the right is rounded which refers to the shape of the lips while making the sound.
