IPA vowel chart with audio

The International Phonetic Alphabet is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. It was devised by the International Phonetic Association as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language.[2]
In the IPA, vowel sounds are defined as sound which occurs at a syllable center.[3]
