ASCII IPA files

There are three ASCII IPA guides at this Web site. They are:

"Nutshell"	a quick look at the symbols used in ASCII IPA
"Combined"	a more comprehensive guide, with both American and British examples, and a few examples of German and French pronunciations
"American Only"	a version of "Combined" with American examples only, for those not interested in the sounds of British English or other European languages

These additional pages contain parallel texts in IPA and "ordinary English":

• Interlinear ASCII IPA Examples
• Pronunciation of newsgroup contributors' names
