IPA stands for International Phonetic Alphabet. It is a tool used by linguists to more accurately describe the sounds of languages. IPA can be very useful when comparing the sounds of different languages, but it is not often appreciated by non-linguists, so don't feel bad if you're not a fan. It's not necessary to learn IPA in order to master Chinese pronunciation.

The IPA transcriptions below use some uncommon symbols that may not display correctly in some browsers.
