In the phonetic alphabet, a single symbol or letter corresponds to a single sound,
unlike the traditional alphabets of English or French.
The phonetic alphabet is provided here as a means for indicating pronunciation more consistently
and precisely. Note that a single French sound may correspond to several different spellings
or combinations of letters.
