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)[reply]

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

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.)
