Skylandic Pronunciation Respelling

Jump to search
The Skylandic Pronunciation Respelling (abbreviated as skPR) is devised by the conlanger Kazu Inoue to specifically transcribe the pronunciation of Skylandic words and phrases when the font he wants to use could not render the IPA symbols he needed. The transcription system is mostly inspired by the ones used in English dictionaries like Merriam-Webster and American Heritage Dictionary.
