International Latin Alphabet: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 2017-05-25T01:48:13

Create a phonetic alphabet (ordered set of assignments of phones to graphemes) where

each letter is from the Lowercase Latin alphabet as defined in "C0 Controls and Basic Latin" (http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf)
each letter represents a phone that is represented by one character in IPA (https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/sites/default/files/IPA_Kiel_2015.pdf)
each letter that represents a vowel in IPA should represent a vowel in the target alphabet, same for consonants
each phone that is adopted and is represented in IPA by a letter that is part of the target alphabet, should be represented by that letter in the target alphabet

Two constraints, a replacement value (for IPA) must be

represented by a grapheme that is not a single Basic Latin letter (= a phone that is represented by a Basic Latin letter in IPA should only be assigned to the same letter in the alphabet)
from the same of the two classes consonant and vowel, as the replaced value

interslav: "bogatši" which means "richer". t and š need to be pronounced separately, otherwise it would be written "bogači", which is a different word and is the singular locative of "bogač", which means "rich man" - ULA would have /bogatci/ for both and cannot distinguish.
Polish
- tc : <cz> VS <trz>
  - <czy> VS <trzy>
    - workaround: <tc> VS <tq>, the latter with progressive voicing assimilation
- dq : <dż> VS <drz>
  - <dżem> = "jam", with monophonemic affricate, versus <drzem> = "take a nap (imperative)" with plosive-plus-fricative sequence.
    - workaround: <dq> VS <dc>, the latter with progressive voicing assimilation
