<Ul> <Li> Rhyming dictionary </Li> </Ul> <P> In many languages, such as the English language, the pronunciation of some words is not apparent from their spelling . In these languages, dictionaries usually provide the pronunciation . For example, the definition for the word dictionary might be followed by the International Phonetic Alphabet spelling / ˈdɪkʃənɛri / . American English dictionaries often use their own pronunciation respelling systems with diacritics, for example dictionary is respelled as "dĭk ′ shə - nĕr ′ ē" in the American Heritage Dictionary . The IPA is more commonly used within the British Commonwealth countries . Yet others use their own pronunciation respelling systems without diacritics: for example, dictionary may be respelled as DIK - shə - nair - ee . Some online or electronic dictionaries provide audio recordings of words being spoken . </P> <Ul> <Li> A Dictionary of the English Language by Samuel Johnson (prescriptive) </Li> <Li> The American College Dictionary by Clarence L.
