Sinological phonetic notation
Notation used for Chinese phonetics / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chinese linguists use a number of additional phonetic symbols that are not part of the standard International Phonetic Alphabet.[1][2] These symbols are commonly encountered in introductory textbooks of Chinese phonetics and in introductory descriptive works of any Chinese "dialects".[1] Many Western linguists who work in the field of Chinese linguistics also use these symbols,[1] for instance, Loggins (2022) writes "[to] introduce the general reader to what they may encounter should they consult one of such publications, I am using the IPA-castaways [ʅ] and [ɿ]".[3]
