DEFINITION OF PHONETICS OF THE
VOWELS.
The Phonetic Alphabet is a phonetic
notation system created by linguists.
Its purpose is to grant, in a
regularized, precise and unique way,

[e], [i], [o], [u]) correspond to the
vowels of Spanish.
Symbols taken from the Greek

and [χ]. Of these, the only ones that

from which they were taken are [ɣ]
and [θ]. Although [β], [ɛ], [ɸ], and [χ]

epsilon, fi (phi), and ji (chi), they do
