The Atlas does not use standard IPA notation. So, could this article possibly provide a conversion from the Atlas's notation to standard IPA? If the answer is no, then the answer is no. Thank you. LakeKayak ( talk) 16:54, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
From the article: "The following tables provide a comparison between ANAE's notation and Wikipedia's diaphonemic transcription system," and the corresponding column of the tables is headed WP rather than IPA.
But Wikipedia's diaphonemic transcription system is the same as IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), as far as I can tell, and IPA is far more widely known than "Wikipedia's diaphonemic transcription system." Why not just refer to IPA?

I don't understand why there's a huge section on this page about the notation ANAE uses. The notation used in any given research work isn't a particularly important fact about the work in the way that, say, its findings and its intellectual impact and influence are. The formant normalization methodology used in ANAE, for example, is of greater relevance for understanding the book's significance, and we don't spend a third of this article explaining that. Using that much space on explicating the notation doesn't help the reader get a clearer understanding of what ANAE is and why it's important. If there's an article on the varieties of notation used for expressing English phonemes, this could go there, since it is interesting and influential as an example of a phonemic notation system. But it's not that important a fact about ANAE. AJD ( talk) 06:06, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
