Valthungian/Intermediate Transcriptional Alphabet

From Linguifex
Jump to navigation Jump to search


Phonetic transliteration is not used regularly in Valthungian, but is used frequently when discussing issues of historical linguistic significance to the language. This is a merger of the Romanization of Valthungian and phonetic notation (IPA), aimed to be more precise than transliteration but less cumbersome than IPA. Characters with standard values continue to be written with the Latin transliteration, but others may have slightly different values. For the purposes of historical comparison, a standardized character set is used for Proto-Germanic, Gothic, Griutungi, and all stages of Valthungian. Standardised Romanisations are used throughout this work; those using this phonetic transcription are enclosed in slashes (/); transliterations are generally italicized.
