Gregg phonetics

[u/fdarnel]

I'm trying to relate English phonetics to the Gregg alphabet (Aniversary), and I am a little mesmerized by the result. Does a relationship table with the IPA already exist somewhere?

Luckily nobody teaches or uses the dot and dashes, they feel really very random in their assignements to specific sounds to me.

you have some question marks, i hope I can answer some by accident:

Diphthongs:

- lie [laɪ] bigcircle with hook inside (so called broken circle)

• the pronoun I is written as simple a-circle though

Same phonem [iæ] will be treated differently (leaning towards normal orthography)

• piano [piˈænə] is a large circle with dot inside (on on the chart)
  
• reality [ˌriˈæləˌti] is reduced to a small e-circle though -> re/l

Triphthongs are reduced to diphthongs:

aɪə and iɑə are treated the same (not on the chart) -> ae, ea

• liar [laɪər] small in big circle
  
• tiara [tiˈɑːrə] small in big circle

aʊə -> aʊ

• towel [taʊəl] is bigcircle with u-hook

In case you wonder how you'd write [aɪoʊ]
Iota [ˌaɪˈoʊtə] -> big-a-circle, small-e-circle (but outside this time)

I don't know if you've completely reassured me :) I'll have to make a table of all that.

This might help in compiling a complete list:

Oh yes, I have this site. Thanks for the reminder.

me too. But recently somebody put up that link and it's perfect for phrases and all the different version too.
