Because of type limitations I have had to use my own pronouncation symbols.

The following chart shows all of the symbols I use, and what sounds they stand for.

For the sound symbols, under meaning there will be a list of words. In each word there will be a letter(s) highlighted in red. The way those letters are pronounced in the word, is the sound the coorresponding symbol stands for. Some symbols are obvious, others are more surprising. There are 40 symbols listed here. Note that some of the symbols at the end include a hyphen at the end (-). These sounds must be fused with a following vowel sound.
