English is one of the languages where there is no one-to-one correspondence between the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they represent. For example, the letter iis pronounced differently in iceand in; the letter gis pronounced differently in give and gin; the two letters chare pronounced differently in churchand character. On the other hand, the letter kin keep and cin carare pronounced alike and it is the same case with the letters chin machine and shin ship. Therefore, in English, one letter of the alphabet stands for more than one sound and, conversely, the same sound is represented by different letters of the alphabet. Since there is no one-to-one relationship between spelling and pronunciation in English, we need another alphabet representing all the speech sounds. INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET (IPA) The International Phonetic Alphabet is an alphabet approved by the International Phonetic Association. This alphabet has symbols to represent all the sounds that exist in all the languages of the world. This alphabet is based on the Roman alphabet. THE BRITISH ENGLISH PHONETIC ALPHABET The English alphabet has twenty-six letters, five of which are vowels and the remaining twenty-one consonants. These twenty-six letters are enough to write English. Since there is a lot of disparity between writing and pronunciation in English, we need another alphabet representing all the speech sounds. Such an alphabet is called the Phonetic Alphabet. This alphabet consists of forty-four speech sounds called phonemes or distinctive sound units. These forty-four phonemes are broadly classified into vowels and consonants. Vowels are twenty in number and consonants are twenty-four. Vowels are further classified into pure vowels and diphthongs. There are twelve pure vowels and eight diphthongs. These phonemes help us to find out the correct pronunciation of words.
