For pronunciation questions it is often useful to be able to properly represent the sounds; unfortunately using the proper IPA characters is not feasible. Should we agree on a standard way to do this? One common option is SAMPA, http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/index.html, but there are undoubtedly also others.
SAMPA basically consists of a mapping of symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet onto ASCII codes in the range 33..127, the 7-bit printable ASCII characters.
1Why do you say that IPA is not feasible? It is readibly available in Unicode and it's easy enough to copy the characters from Wikipedia.–None–2016-09-16T10:55:12.320
1It is too difficult to enter them quickly in my opinion. We already have problems with the Esperanto characters...–None–2016-09-16T11:43:21.583
