The International Phonetic Association is an organization that promotes the scientific study of

phonetics and the various practical applications of that science. The IPA's major contribution
to phonetics is the International Phonetic Alphabet—a notational standard for the phonetic
representation of all languages. It provides the correct symbols for various vowels and
consonant sounds.
