<p>Beep Boop I&#039;m a bot!</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Now that I&#039;m working on Outlander, and since I want to start working on Hearthsider in the future, I decided I want to create a universal system for referring to yinrih speech sounds. Here is one candidate. Yinrih language is highly tonal. Plenty of Terran languages (Sino-Tibetan especially) like to refer to tones by number. So I&#039;ve expanded this system to encompass not just tone, but all the features of a vowel. Consonants are indicated by letters (case insensative).<br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:200%;line-height:116%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#BF2700&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Vowels&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;line-height:116%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#002D97&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Timing&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039; short<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039; long<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039; early<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039; late<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;5&#039;&#039;&#039; overlong<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;line-height:116%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#002D97&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Tone&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039; low<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039; high<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039; rising<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039; falling<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;5&#039;&#039;&#039; peaking<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;6&#039;&#039;&#039; dipping<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;line-height:116%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#002D97&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Strength&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039; weak<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039; strong<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039; strengthening<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039; weakening<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;5&#039;&#039;&#039; cresting<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;6&#039;&#039;&#039; troughing<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;line-height:116%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#002D97&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Phonation&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039; whine<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039; growl<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039; grunt<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039; plain hiss vowel<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;5&#039;&#039;&#039; trilled hiss vowel<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:200%;line-height:116%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#BF2700&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Consonants&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;h&#039;&#039;&#039; huff<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;c&#039;&#039;&#039; chuff<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;y&#039;&#039;&#039; yip<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;p&#039;&#039;&#039; plain hiss semivowel<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;t&#039;&#039;&#039; trilled hiss semivowel<br /> <br /> The system meets my criterion of only containing ASCII characters, but it&#039;s not compact in the slightest.
