Conlang XSAMPA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CXS (an acronym standing for CONLANG eXtended SAMPA (SAMPA= Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet), where CONLANG in turn stands for the Conlang Mailing List) is an unofficial extension of the Extended Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet (X-SAMPA) that is used by members of the Conlang Mailing List with the intention of improving the system for use in language construction.
The main differences between the transcription systems are:
| Phone, diacritic or suprasegmental |
IPA | X-SAMPA | CXS | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High central unrounded vowel | ɨ | 1 | i\ | Original X-SAMPA symbol is also in use |
| High central rounded vowel | ʉ | } | u\ | |
| Open front rounded vowel | ɶ | & | &\ | |
| Near-open front unrounded vowel | æ | { | & | Same transcription as in the Kirshenbaum system |
| Palatalization | ʲ | ' | _j | |
| Primary stress | ˈ | " | ' or " | |
| Secondary stress | ˌ | % | , or % | |
| Tie bar (example) | g͡b | g_b | gb) |
