IPA stands for International Phonetic Alphabet - I standard for transcribing phonemes (meaningful sounds) in the world’s languages. I’ve written on it way back.
A fricative is a sound like the “th” in “thin”. It is a consonant that produces its sound by friction between two parts of the speech apparatus.
Thank you!
Jeremiah,
This is quite fascinating. I'm not versed much in the terms. Could you please explain IPA and fricative?
