Phonetic spelling is a way of writing words using symbols that represent the sounds of the spoken language. This can be helpful for people who are learning to read and write, or for those who have difficulty spelling. Phonetic spelling can also be used to create pronunciation guides for foreign words or names.
There are many different phonetic spelling systems, but the most common one is the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The IPA is a system of symbols that represent all of the sounds that can be made in human speech. It is used by linguists and speech therapists to describe and analyze languages.
