Notes
1. ^ Although the symbol r technically represents an alveolar trill, which is absent from most dialects of English, it is nevertheless widely used instead of ɹ in phonemic transcriptions.
2. ^ Some accents, such as Scottish and much of the American South; see whine and wine and voiceless labiovelar approximant
3. ^ Often transcribed /e/ for RP, for example in Collins English Dictionary.
4. ^ Often transcribed /a/ for RP, for example in dictionaries of the Oxford University Press.
5. ^ See bad-lad split for more discussion of this vowel in Australian English.
6. ^ See low back merger for more discussion of this vowel in American English.
7. ^ Sometimes transcribed for GA as [əɹ], especially in transcriptions that represent both rhotic and non-rhotic pronunciations, as [ə(ɹ)].
8. ^ Alternative symbols used in British dictionaries are /ɛː/ (Oxford University Press) and /eə/.

- NATO phonetic alphabet - also known as the international radiotelephony spelling alphabet or military alphabet. The NATO phonetic alphabet is often confused with the IPA because of the occurrence of "phonetic" in its name. However, the NATO alphabet is a cipher of the Latin alphabet, while the IPA strives for one-to-one representation of the sounds of all languages.
