Gaseous (== Template:IPA
The Template:IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) is a 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.
Pronunciation
The pronunciation of the term "IPA" is /aɪ piː eɪ/ in English.
Etymology
The term "IPA" is an acronym for the International Phonetic Alphabet. The International Phonetic Association, founded in 1886, created the IPA to provide a single, universal system for the transcription of spoken language.
Related Terms
- Phonetic notation: A system used to visually represent the sounds of speech. The IPA is one type of phonetic notation.
- Phonetics: The study of the physical sounds of human speech. It is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds (phonemes), and the processes of their physiological production, auditory reception, and neurophysiological perception.
- Phonology: The study of the way sounds function within a particular language or languages. While phonetics concerns the physical production, acoustic transmission and perception of the sounds of speech, phonology describes the way sounds function within a particular language or languages.
- Transcription (linguistics): The systematic representation of spoken language in written form. The source of the words transcribe and transcription, the term means "to write across" in Latin, and it's the process of converting spoken language into written form. In linguistics, this is often done using the IPA.

Gaseous refers to a state of matter that is neither a solid nor a liquid. Under ordinary conditions, it is the state of one of the three fundamental states of matter. The term gaseous is derived from the Latin word "gas" meaning "spirit" or "vapor".
Etymology
The term "gaseous" is derived from the Greek word "chaos", which means "empty space" or "void". It was first used in this context by the English scientist and inventor, Michael Faraday, in the 19th century.
Related Terms
- Gas: A state of matter distinguished from the solid and liquid states by relatively low density and viscosity, relatively great expansion and contraction with changes in pressure and temperature, the ability to diffuse readily, and the spontaneous tendency to become distributed uniformly throughout any container.
- Vapor: A substance diffused or suspended in the air, especially one normally liquid or solid.
- Plasma (physics): Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter, and was first described by chemist Irving Langmuir in the 1920s. Unlike the other three states, solid, liquid, and gas, plasma does not exist freely on the Earth's surface under normal conditions.
- Solid: One of the three basic states of matter, the others being liquid and gas.
- Liquid: A nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure.
