Phonetics is the field of language study concerned with the physical properties of sounds, and it has three subfields.
Phonetics (from the Greek word ή, phone meaning 'sound, voice') is the study of sounds and the human voice.

The symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and extended sets adapted to a particular language are often used by linguists to write phonemes of oral languages, with the principle being one symbol equals one categorical sound.
This may differ from a phonetic orthography, which only requires that the spelling be unambiguously determined by the pronunciation, and the pronunciation unambiguously indicated by the spelling.

 international phonetic alphabet - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
The NATO phonetic alphabet ("alpha bravo") had also informally been called the 'International Phonetic Alphabet', though these two are unrelated.
The International Phonetic Alphabet is a phonetic alphabet used by linguists to accurately and uniquely represent each of the wide variety of sounds (phones or phonemes) the human vocal apparatus can produce.
In iconic phonetic notation, the shapes of the phonetic characters visually represent the position of articulators in the vocal tract.

In phonetics, a vowel is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by an open configuration of the vocal tract so that there is no build-up of air pressure above the glottis.
For example, the vowel sounds in a two-syllable pronunciation of the word flower (BrE [flaʊə] AmE [flaʊɚ]) phonetically form a disyllabic triphthong, but are phonologically a sequence of a diphthong (represented by the letters ) and a monophthong (represented by the letters ).
The International Phonetic Alphabet has a set of 28 symbols to represent the range of basic vowel qualities, and a further set of diacritics to denote variations from the basic vowel.

 Phonetics
, a phonetic refers to the portion of the character that hints at its pronunciation.
Characters featuring the same phonetic typically have similar pronunciations, but by no means are the pronunciations predictably determined by the phonetic due to the fact that pronunciations diverged over many centuries while the characters remained the same.

The NATO phonetic alphabet, which is different, has also informally been called the "International Phonetic Alphabet".
The general principle of the IPA is to provide a separate symbol for each speech segment, avoiding letter combinations (digraphs) such as sh and th in English orthography, and avoiding ambiguity such as that of c in English.
For non-contrastive (that is, phonetic or subphonemic) details of these sounds, the IPA relies on diacritics, which are optional.

 Roundedness - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In phonetics, vowel roundedness refers to the amount of rounding in the lips during the articulation of a vowel.
In most languages, front vowels tend to be unrounded, while back vowels tend to be rounded, but some languages, such as French and German, distinguish between rounded and unrounded vowels at the same height and backness.
In the International Phonetic Alphabet vowel chart, rounded vowels are the ones that occur on the right in each pair of vowels.

 International Phonetic Alphabet - Enpsychlopedia
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 (phones or phonemes) used in spoken human language.
It is intended as a notational standard for the phonemic and phonetic representation of all spoken languages.
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.

 Flap consonant - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In phonetics, a flap or tap is a type of consonantal sound, which is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator (such as the tongue) is thrown against another.
The main difference between a flap and a stop consonant is that in a flap, there is no buildup of air pressure behind the place of articulation, and consequently no release burst.
The flap and tap consonants identified by the International Phonetic Alphabet are:

It is concerned with the actual nature of the sounds and their production, as opposed to phonology, which operates at the level of sound systems and linguistic units called phonemes.
So close is the relationship between them however, that many dictionaries list the study of the symbols (more accurately semiotics) as a part of phonetic studies.

In addition to phonetic sounds, phonetics handles the "accent" of the words: the accent is again used as a very important grammatical instrument.
The thing to note is, the phonetic symbols used here are just "tags", and the accompanying words are needed to identify the right phonetic sound used (and implicitly the phonetic symbols used).
Despite the fact phonetic symbols will differ in other publications, please be aware their functionality is the same.
