Please excuse me if my map iz not complete,
or if you think it iz anglocentric.
It should include all of the European sounds.
Any amendments you could sujest might go into
another page of
http://edmc.net/~brewhaha/font/fonoglif.pdf 1.28 MB
(my apologies for not making that efficient with
shaded fills, and I do what I can with software
I know)
when I am confident that it iz correct, or at least
clear and unambiguous.
Substantial differences are between this and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavian .
That iz because agreements sometimes oppose fact
and actually create confusion. At least that iz
my view of IPA on that noise.
/j/ iz not a vowel! It iz a voiced palatal stop.

My font haz no reprezentation for the subtle vowels that intervene
between /r/, /l/, and vowels. Shavian does, but "array" iz not
pronounced with a schwa, for example of an error in wikipedia.
That would make it sound like @ray.

"Array" duz not sound laik "Hooray" (without dhee aych).
Am I alone in thinking that IPA iz more kunfyuuzing dhan
Shavian names?

I think what's confusing is that you use:

     <I> in "I" but <ai> in "like"
     <dh> in "the" but <th> in "that"
     <z> in "is" but <s> in "names"
     <ay> in "aitch" but <a_e> in "names"

even though the members of each pair represent the same sound.

There's not really much point in replacing English spelling if you're
going to be half-assed about it.

Some of my reforms stick with me when I switch modes, and I've been
on mailing lists where people complained about "iz". It's good to
know that I might still hav a reader if I were to be rigorous.
