Barbara babbles;
It began as a soellinf reform movenemt inthe 1800s I thinks, but as it
expanded to have all phonems described (the Idea was a one-world
alphabet) it because a tool of phoneticians decribing languages and
remains for that purpose. Althoug some, alsa very few, language course
use it for pronounciaton guides for their words.
