Conlang Extended X-SAMPA

CXS (an acronym standing for CONLANG eXtended SAMPA (SAMPA= Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet), where CONLANG in turn stands for the Conlang Mailing List) is an unofficial extension of the Extended Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet (X-SAMPA) that is used by members of the Conlang Mailing List with the intention of improving the system for use in language construction.

The main differences between the transcription systems are:

Phone, diacritic or suprasegmental	IPA	X-SAMPA	CXS	Notes
Close central unrounded vowel	ɨ	1	i\	Original X-SAMPA symbol is also in use
Close central rounded vowel	ʉ	}	u\

Palatalization	ʲ	'	;
Primary stress	ˈ	"	' or "
Secondary stress	ˌ	%	, or %
Tie bar (example)	g͡b	g_b	gb)
