Slavistic Phonetic Alphabet

Slavistic Phonetic Alphabet (Polish: Slawistyczny alfabet fonetyczny) is a phonetic transcription system adapted for the use with Slavic languages. In contrast to the International Phonetic Alphabet, it represents affricate constants as singular characters.^[1] The two main principles in the creation of the system were: having every phone represented by a singular character, and having the same phones represented always by the same character.^[2]
