The Lithuanian terms of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)

The paper presents and analyses the set of phonetic terms approved by the State Commission of the Lithuanian Language. It consists of the labels of International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) characters in the Lithuanian language. A total of 166 terms have been analysed, divided into two groups: 1) Lithuanised international terms; 2) Lithuanian terms. The synonymy of international and Lithuanian terms, the criteria for selecting the main variant, some aspects of the creation of new Lithuanian terms, and the most characteristic features of the formation of the terms set are reviewed.
