Audio Files of Illustrations of the IPA (JIPA Support for IPA Members)

The audio files contained in this page for downloading accompany the Illustrations of the IPA that have been published in the Journal of the International Phonetic Association since 1998. Recent illustrations have generally been updated to list files by number in order of appearance in the JIPA text as well as by English gloss for file identification. Some illustrations have multiple speakers. Files are organized into folders corresponding to the organization of the text in JIPA.


Audio files accompanying the Illustrations of the IPA found in Part 2 of the Handbook of the International Phonetic Association, published by Cambridge University Press in 1999, can be downloaded at http://web.uvic.ca/ling/resources/ipa/handbook.htm

The authors of the Illustrations of Shipibo, Kéo, Nara and Standard Yiddish have not provided any audio files to accompany their text material.
