Description

Saundspel, the phonology forum,
is a discussion group for those interested in spelling by sound, applied linguistics, writing systems, history, and spelling reform.

If you have a language related question, post it here.
If you post something not language related, you risk being banned from the group.

The Saundspel discussion group was originally set up to build a machine readable IPA analog for transcribing English speech. SAMPA* was available but not designed as a writing system. ENgliS , Unigraf, and similar notations are about as close as we have come to finding an easily read and typed way to represent 40+ sounds with a 26 character (ASCII) keyboard. An improved orthography for World English (see euro-english) remains a key but not the sole concern of this group. [ more -includes 20 links]

Steve, I have, as you have kindly pointed out, provided more detail on other occasions and simply haven’t got the time and energy to do it over and over
