Uralic Phonetic Alphabet

The Uralic Phonetic Alphabet is like a secret code for writing down the sounds of different languages in a special way. Imagine you want to tell your friend how to say a word, but they don't know the alphabet you use. You can use the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet to help them understand how to say the word even if they don't speak your language!

The Uralic Phonetic Alphabet has special symbols that represent different sounds in languages, like a symbol for the "sh" sound or the "ee" sound. Instead of using regular letters like A, B, C, it uses different symbols that people who speak many different languages can understand.

For example, the word "cat" in English is made up of three sounds - "k", "a", "t". In the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet, the word "cat" is written as [kæt].

So basically, the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet helps people from different languages understand how to say words by using special symbols instead of regular letters.
