International Phonetic Alphabet

Any ideas what this might represent?

As a hint, it is spelled using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) - here are front and back pictures of the card I was given in the Explore Bible Translation class:

Here is additional information about IPA from Wikipedia:

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. It was devised by the International Phonetic Association in the late 19th century as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language. The IPA is used by lexicographers, foreign language students and teachers, linguists, speech-language pathologists, singers, actors, constructed language creators and translators.

As you may be able to tell, the alphabet identifies how the sound is made... here's some more information from Wikipedia:

A pulmonic consonant is a consonant made by obstructing the glottis (the space between the vocal cords) or oral cavity (the mouth) and either simultaneously or subsequently letting out air from the lungs. Pulmonic consonants make up the majority of consonants in the IPA, as well as in human language. All consonants in the English language fall into this category.

The pulmonic consonant table, which includes most consonants, is arranged in rows that designate manner of articulation, meaning how the consonant is produced, and columns that designate place of articulation, meaning where in the vocal tract the consonant is produced. The main chart includes only consonants with a single place of articulation.

Have you figured out what the letters in the picture at the beginning of this post are spelling??

Maybe this will help:

It is my name spelled with IPA!
