The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet

This chart contains all the sounds (phonemes) used in the English language. For each sound, it gives:

The chart represents British and American phonemes with one symbol. One symbol can mean two different phonemes in American and British English.

· Two English words which use the sound. The underline shows where the sound is

heard.
