Everything about X-sampa totally explained
The
Extended Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet (X-SAMPA) is a variant of
SAMPA developed in
1995 by
John C. Wells, professor of
phonetics at the
University of London. It was designed to unify the individual language SAMPA alphabets, and extend SAMPA to cover the entire range of characters in the
International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
The result is a SAMPA-inspired recasting of the IPA into 7-bit
ASCII.
SAMPA was devised as a
hack to work around the inability of
text encodings to represent IPA symbols. However, as
Unicode support for IPA symbols becomes more widespread, the necessity for a separate, computer-readable system for representing the IPA in ASCII decreases.
