ALL ABOUT IPA

• The concept of the IPA was first broached by


Otto Jespersen in a letter to Paul Passy of
the International Phonetic Association and
was developed by A.J. Ellis, Henry Sweet,
Daniel Jones, and Passy in the late 19th
century. Its creators’ intent was to standardize
the representation of spoken language,
thereby sidestepping the confusion caused
by the inconsistent conventional spellings
used in every language.
ALL ABOUT IPA

• The IPA primarily uses Roman


characters. Other letters are borrowed
from different scripts (e.g., Greek) and
are modified to conform to Roman
style.
