How many sounds does the English language use? What are those sounds? For instance, if you wanted to create a phonetic alphabet, with one character being used for one sound, and no cross-over (ie... a one-to-one relationship), how many characters would that alphabet need? I've got a chart that says whether the 'h' is a glottal stop, etc... and I have the little chart that shows where vowels are voiced (looks like a semi-collapsed trapezoid).Is there a comprehensive source for this on the internet?
THANKS!!!
