This means that: It does not normally use combinations of letters to represent single sounds, the way English does with ?sh?, ?th? and ?ng?, nor single letters to represent multiple sounds, the way ?x? represents /ks/ or /?z/ in English. There are no letters that have context-dependent sound values, the way ?c? and ?g? in several European languages have a "hard" or "soft" pronunciation. The IPA does not usually have separate letters for two sounds if no known language makes a distinction between them, a property known as "selectiveness".[note 2] However, if a large number of phonemically distinct letters can be derived with a diacritic, that may be used instead.[note 3] The alphabet is designed for transcribing sounds (phones), not phonemes, though it is used for phonemic transcription as well. A few letters that did not indicate specific sounds have been retired (???, once used for the "compound" tone of Swedish and Norwegian, and ???, once used for the moraic nasal of Japanese), though one remains: ???, used for the sj-sound of Swedish. When the IPA is used for phonemic transcription, the letterbsound correspondence can be rather loose. For example, ?c? and ??? are used in the IPA Handbook for /t??/ and /d??/. Among the symbols of the IPA, 107 letters represent consonants and vowels, 31 diacritics are used to modify these, and 17 additional signs indicate suprasegmental qualities such as length, tone, stress, and intonation.[note 4] These are organized into a chart; the chart displayed here is the official chart as posted at the website of the IPA. Letter forms Loop-tail ?g? and open-tail ??? are graphic variants. Open-tail ??? was the original IPA symbol, but both are now considered correct. See history of the IPA for details. The letters chosen for the IPA are meant to harmonize with the Latin alphabet. For this reason, most letters are either Latin or Greek, or modifications thereof. Some letters are neither: for example, the letter denoting the glottal stop, ???, originally had the form of a dotl ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #11488 ***********************************************
