IPA Charts
|
These charts were built in 2004 by Eric Armstrong with voicing by Paul Meier. At present, the IPA Charts on this site work in all known browsers! Note that the chart lives on in another form via Paul Meier’s IPA app for the iPhone. |
The complete IPA is now available online from the International Phonetic Association. IPA Chart, www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/content/ipa-chart, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License. Copyright © 2018 International Phonetic Association.
There are also alternatives. The one I like best with similar functionality is from the actual International Phonetic Association, https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/IPAcharts/inter_chart_2018/IPA_2018.html It has the added bonus of being both a symbol-sound chart (with 4 different voices, so you can hear 4 different, well-known phoneticians—including a woman—speak the sounds, AND you can use the chart to transcribe symbols in the top field on the page, which you can then copy and paste into a document.
But wait, there's even MORE! One is ipachart.com — I don’t like it as well, but it does work on all devices, and has a very memorable URL! Another very interesting alternative is "World Sounds" at UBC. that shows video of the tongue in action, based on ultrasound superimposed on a video of the speaker. It’s as if you could see through their head and into their mouth! Similarly, Seeing Speech’s charts, available at https://www.seeingspeech.ac.uk/ipa-charts/?chart=4, are very helpful, along with the mega-vowel comparison in the companion site Dynamic Dialects, do a great job of visualizing the tongue action with the help of Ultrasound and MRI imaging.
