    • 2012, James Lambert, “Beyond Hobson-Jobson: A new lexicography for Indian English”, in World Englishes‎[1], page 297:
      However, beyond lexis, the Macmillan range includes other adaptations, such as IPA encoding which reflects Indian English pronunciation, and etymologies that distinguish between "tatsama" and "tadbhava" terms, based on McGregor (1992).
    • 2024 June 6, Kirk Miller, “L2/24-171: Miscellaneous historical and para-IPA modifier letters”, in UTC Document Registry‎[2], page 1:
      Those two proposals included a few retired and para-IPA letters, but consideration of historical and para-IPA modifiers was largely deferred until the IPA could more fully discuss the desired scope of such encoding through the newly established Alphabet, Charts and Fonts Committee. […] By ‘para-IPA,’ we mean symbols that are commonly used within IPA notation but that are not themselves part of the IPA alphabet.
  2. Initialism of International Phonetic Association.
    Coordinate term: JIPA
  3. Initialism of International Police Association.
