	International Phonetic Alphabet
		The International Phonetic Alphabet ('''IPA''') is a system of Phonetic Notation devised by linguists to accurately and uniquely represent each of the wide variety of sounds (Phone s or Phoneme s) used in spoken human language.
		So phonemic /nixt/ is equivalent to phonetic [najt], but only if you share the belief that historical sounds such as the ''gh'' in ''night'' may remain in a word long after they have ceased to be pronounced, or that a phoneme may exist in a language without ever being directly expressed.
		International Phonetic Alphabet For English explains those IPA symbols used to represent the phonemes of English.

		The original alphabet was based on a spelling reform for English known as the Romic alphabet, but in order to make it usable for other languages, the values of the symbols were allowed to vary from language to language.
		Extensions of the alphabet are relatively recent; the Extended IPA was created in 1990 and officially adopted by the International Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics Association in 1994.

		The 26-letter, A-Z English alphabet is a pretty good shorthand system for everyday writing, but as we saw with the word "taxi," it isn't exact enough for representing phonetic speech sounds.
		The problem with using the English alphabet for phonetics becomes even greater when you consider that phonetics studies the speech sounds of all the world's languages, many of which do not use a Roman alphabet.
