Ah yes, IPA! International Phonetic Alphabet -- I had a drama teacher who had us learn to read it, (and I used to use a bastardized version of it for keeping notes), but she claimed that it could be used to represent ANY accent and emphasis. (In our basic level, not so much.) But according to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet): > Among the symbols of the IPA, 107 letters represent consonants and vowels, 31 diacritics are used to modify these, and 19 additional signs indicate suprasegmental qualities such as length, tone, stress, and intonation Skip down the page to "Suprasegmentals" -- but I think they're just distinguishing regular "long" vowels from short ones, like the "a" in "grape" vs "gap."
