|+-- ipa table ascii encoding.txt --------------------------------------------+|

This is an ASCII encoding of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) that's
fundementally different from every other IPA ASCII encoding. Instead of
encoding the *symbol*, my encoding encodes the position on the consonant or
vowel table.
It's not very readable, so it may be better suited to processing by computers.

+--- Example ------------------------------------------------------------------+

Note: This is made to be mostly accurate to my dialect, but some of the vowels
      may be inaccurate. There may also be other mistakes; this is mainly just
      to show how the system looks.

Orthography:
That quick beige fox jumped in the air over each thin dog. Look out, I shout,
for he's foiled you again, creating chaos.

+--- Consonants ---------------------------------------------------------------+
Consonants are built from two letters — a lowercase letter for the place of
articulation, followed by an uppercase or lowercase letter for the manner of
articulation. The case of the second letter denotes voicing.

++ PLACE OF ARTICULATION ++
w : Labial (for co-articulate consonants)
b : Bilabial
f : Labiodental
l : Linguolabial
d : Dental
t : Alveolar
p : Post-alveolar
r : Retroflex
j : Palatal
g : Velar
q : Uvular
x : Pharyngeal/epiglottal
h : Glottal

++ MANNER OF ARTICULATION ++
n : Nasal
p : Plosive/stop
f : Non-sibilant fricative
s : Sibilant fricative
v : Non-sibilant affricate
z : Sibilant affricate
a : Approximant
t : Tap/flap
r : Trill
g : Latteral affricate
u : Lateral fricative
l : Lateral approximant
b : Lateral tap/flap
? : Click

++ VOICING ++
Capitalization of the second letter denotes voicing.
x : Unvoiced
X : Voiced


+--- Vowels -------------------------------------------------------------------+
Consonants are built from two letters — a lowercase letter for vowel height,
followed by an uppercase or lowercase letter for the vowel backness. The case
of the second letter denotes rounding.

++ HEIGHT ++
I : Close
Y : Near-close
E : Close-mid
M : Mid
U : Open-mid
O : Near-open
A : Open

++ BACKNESS ++
i : Front
y : Near-front
e : Central
o : Near-back
a : Back

++ ROUNDING ++
Capitalization of the second letter denotes rounding.
x : Unrounded
X : Rounded


+--- Diacritics ---------------------------------------------------------------+

-, : Syllabic
-( : Non-syllabic
>h : Aspirated
>* : No audible release

^: : Breathy voiced
^~ : Creaky voiced
[d : Dental
