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.
- /Ɛː/ = /eə/
- /ɛ/ = /e/
- /a/ = /æ/
- /Əː/ = /ɜː/
- /Ʌɪ/ = /aɪ/
In GB English the diphthong /eə/ has gradually lost its diphthongal quality and is generally closer to a long mid-open front sound. A similar process is happening to /ɪə/ which may become /ɪː/ in time.
English /ɛ/ in BED can be represented as /e/ or /ɛ/, it is generally slightly more open than cardinal vowel [e] and slightly less open than cardinal vowel [ɛ].
The front open sound in BAD has gradually opened in standard pronunciation, making it closer to cardinal [a]. The symbol /æ/ has the disadvantage of appearing to be a diphthong to new learners of English.
In a chart with /ɛː/, it can be highly confusing for learners to also use symbol /ɜː/, though there is no difference in the sound.
Many speakers start the sounds /aɪ/ and /aʊ/ in different positions, so it can be confusing for learners to have the same symbol in both, using /ʌɪ/ resolves this.
