Like the more common SAMPA, the system uses lower-case letters to represent the directly corresponding IPA character. However, the mapping used to represent other characters often differs. For example— (list including several characters identical in SAMPA and Kirshenbaum)
Shouldn’t this list focus on characters that differ from SAMPA, like the sentence says? —Frungi 03:36, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

I agree, and am about to shrink it a little. —Felix the Cassowary (ɑe hɪː jɐ) 12:57, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I've fixed the vowel chart

Or so I want to believe! Firstly, I'm not Evan Kirshenbaum. Secondly, the diacritics " and - allow one to create symbols for sounds that are not even identified by the IPA, which makes me feel somewhat uneasy. I've added symbols for those sounds that I know exist. (For example, the open central rounded vowel is a phoneme in my dialect of German, and the near-open back unrounded vowel is what I was taught to be the realization of English <uh> as in <but>, though other accents of English pronounce it as [V], [&"] or [@] -- Kirshenbaum's accent does the latter.)

[edit] Affricates

Can anyone confirm how (a) dental non-sibilant affricates and (b) the voiced palatal affricate are represented in Kirshenbaum? Is it OK to write tT, dD and JC or must one write t[T, d[D and JC<vcd>? 213.249.135.36

[edit] Pronunciation

How is the name Kirshenbaum pronounced? Samples in IPA and/or Kirshenbaum would be very nice. --Kjoonlee 03:45, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I have e-mailed Mr Evan Kirshenbaum for help. I'll post an update when I get a reply. --Kjoonlee 06:19, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed

In Kirshenbaum, [r] doesn't represent the alveolar trill like in IPA, but the alveolar approximant. -- Dissident (Talk) 04:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
