world's languages in writing, linguists have
developed the International Phonetic Alphabet
, designed to represent all of the discrete
sounds that are known to contribute to
meaning in human languages. Each symbol
represents the place (where in the mouth or

mouth move and how the breath is used) of
producing the sound
