Is there a standard keyboard layout for the English part of IPA?

It wouldn't be too difficult to create one. I found this on DuckDuckGo via the search query "ipa xkb layout":

You could add that to /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ and use setxkbmap to switch to it. I would assign a key binding to it in my window manager.

If you use a desktop environment like GNOME, you might want to edit ../rules/evdev.xml in order to be able to find the keyboard layout in the graphical keyboard preferences.

Here's another good resource on X11 keyboard layouts in general:
