I should post a picture of my phonetic writing system for english here

2 (unrelated) pages written in my phonetic writing system for English

tû (ynrelàtd) pàjez riten in mii fönetik riitiŋ sistym fø iŋgliʃ

(there are a couple of other shorthands used in the pages, because these are lecture notes, but should give you a good impression)

(ðer r a kypl o yþy ʃøthands ŷzd in ð pàjez, bìkoz ðìz r lekcy nöts, būt ʃūd giv ŷ a gûd impreʃn)

@lizardsquid
This is not bad at all. I'm a little confused by some of the vowels though; are you transcribing your own speech?

@lizardsquid
Cool!
I want to know what this sounds like (I've only really studied US and Canadian Englishes). Can you map the vowels into a vowel space?

@DialMforMara these are all the vowels, excepting the special character ŷ which represents the sounds /jʉ:/ (as in the start of "union")

@lizardsquid @DialMforMara for context on the examples, this is the Australian pronunciation of all those words, right?

Follow

@Felthry @DialMforMara yes, the examples words are all australian pronounciation - there's no way for me to map australian vowels onto US pronunciation at all
