How to write ipa characters in Latex?

I need a document in which I can write the international phonetic alphabet (ipa) characters without interfering with italics.

Solution

  • Please use the IPA package.

    \documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{ipa}

\begin{document}

% Package fontenc
\ae % æ
\dh % ð
\ng % ŋ

% Package ipa. It is also named wsuipa.
\nitheta % θ
\esh % ʃ
\yogh % ʒ
\niepsilon % ɛ
\openo % ɔ
\invv % ʌ
\schwa % ə 

\stress % vertical stroke (superior) ˈ
\secstress % vertical stroke (inferior) ˌ

% Overlap
\eth % ð
\eng % ŋ

\end{document}
