## ipa_diacritics.jpg

The image is a chart that provides information about diacritics used in phonetic transcription. Diacritics are small marks added above or below letters to indicate specific sounds or articulations of speech.

### Layout:
- The chart is organized into three main columns and several rows.
- Each row represents different types of diacritical marks, such as voiceless consonants, voiced consonants, breathy voiced consonants, and so on. 
- The first column lists the diacritics used to modify the pronunciation of letters in a specific way.

### Diacritics:
1. **Voiceless Consonants** (e.g., /p/, /t/, /k/)
2. **Voiced Consonants** (e.g., /b/, /d/, /g/)
3. **Breathy Voiced Consonants** (e.g., /β/, /ð/, /ɣ/)
4. **Aspirated Consonants** (e.g., /tʰ/, /dʰ/, /kʰ/)
5. **Less Rounded** (e.g., /u̯/, /y̯/)
6. **More Rounded** (e.g., /œ̈/, /ø̈/)
7. **Advanced Tongue Root** (e.g., /ɑ̟/, /ɒ̟/)
8. **Retracted Tongue Root** (e.g., /ɑ̠/, /ɒ̠/)
9. **Centralized** (e.g., /æ̆/, /ɛ̆/)
10. **Mid-Centralized** (e.g., /œ̈̆/, /ø̈̆/)
11. **Non-Syllabic** (e.g., /n̩/, /t̚/)
12. **Syllabic** (e.g., /ɑ̃/, /ɒ̃/)
13. **Rhoticity** (e.g., /r̥/, /ɾ/)

### Symbols:
- Each diacritical mark is represented by a symbol, such as a dot, line, or other small character placed above or below the letter.
- For example, the symbol for "Advanced Tongue Root" is a small circle above the letter.

### Examples:
- The symbol for "Advanced Tongue Root" (e.g., /ɑ̟/) indicates that the tongue should be positioned further back in the mouth than usual when pronouncing this sound.
- The symbol for "Retracted Tongue Root" (e.g., /ɑ̠/) suggests a more forward position of the tongue.

### Additional Notes:
- Some diacritical marks are used to indicate specific phonetic features like breathiness, aspiration, or rhoticity.
- The chart provides a comprehensive guide to understanding how these diacritics modify the pronunciation of letters in different contexts.
