International Auxiliary Language alphabet
Consonants
Some consonant sounds found in several IAL alphabets are not represented by an ISO 646 letter in IPA. Three have a single letter in IPA, one has an widespread alternative
- /ʃ/ (U+0283, IPA 134)
- /ʒ/ (U+0292, IPA 135)
- /ɡ/ (U+0261, IPA 110) = g (U+0067)
Four are affricates, and have two letters in IPA, they can often be written decomposed:
- /t͡s/ = /ts/
- /t͡ʃ/ = /tʃ/; Note: Polish distinguishes between them
- /d͡z/ = /dz/
- /d͡ʒ/ = /dʒ/
The leaves two characters that are not in ISO 646: ʃ, ʒ.
