@lizardsquid oh gosh i just use broad transcription because otherwise i'm just gonna be spending all day figuring out how to represent the exact sounds and making weird noises at my computer screen

@kinsey even so: my dialects vowels are arranged completely differently to yours, so reading your IPA takes me a little longer because I have to imagine saying it in an accent

@kinsey (also that *is* broad transcription of australian english)

@lizardsquid i'm using the diaphonemes from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA, which aren't necessarily fully representative of the dialect i speak either. like /r/ is a simplification, and i actually pronounce /əl/, /əm/, and /ən/ as [l̩], [m̩], and [n̩], etc.

@kinsey I'm using the Harrington, Cox, and Evans transcription of Australian English Vowels

clas.mq.edu.au/speech/phonetic

and (unlike for American English), I can use /ɹ/ with relative confidence because it's the only "r-like" sound in my dialect, and almost never occurs after a vowel.
