	Phonetics - LoveToKnow 1911
		The tendency of the earlier attempts at an a priori universal alphabet was to symbolize the consonants organically, the vowels acoustically, as in E. Briicke's Phonetische Transscription (1863).
		Standard English itself was originally that mixture of the Midland and the Southern dialect which was spoken in London in the middle ages, just as standard French is, historically, the dialect of that district of which Paris is the centre.
		Standard English, like standard French, is now more a class-dialect than a local dialect: it is the language of the educated all over Great Britain.

	The Origin of English Metrics
		In a future study I shall show that the immediate antecedents of the runi alphabet are the alphabets of Asia Minor, such as the Lydian alphabets and measures, it is possible that the English measures came through the trade route that leads from the Black Sea to the Baltic and to Denmark and Scandinavia.
		This indicates a decline in the importance of the standard of Guildhall; this decline may be a result of the policy of the Stuart king aiming at a reduction of the political power of the municipal body of London.
		Lepsius thought that this rod was a forgery, but Segrè who wrote his treatise on metrology in Torino and examined the rod repeatedly defends its authenticity, even though he cannot account for its markings.

		We then arrange in every language which possesses a richer alphabet, all remaining letters, according to their affinities, as modifications of the nearest typical letters, or as letters of the second and third class.
		Which letters in each language are to be considered as primary, secondary, or tertiary may, to a certain extent, be left to the discretion of individual scholars.
		As it has been found quite impossible to devise any practical alphabet that should accurately represent the pronunciation of words, the Missionary Alphabet, by not attempting to indicate minute shades of pronunciation, has at all events the advantage of not misleading readers in their pronunciation of foreign words.

	Discovering Ancient Egypt
		Lepsius was also mainly responsible for setting up the great Egyptian collection in the Berlin Museum, for which he acquired one of Drovetti's collections, and he also brought back antiquities and casts from the Prussian expedition to Egypt and Nubia.
		During his time in Egypt, Lepsius excavated the site of the Labyrinth in the Fayoum, where stratigraphic techniques were used well in advance of their employment elsewhere in the Near East.
		His first article, a catalogne of the Egyptian objects in the Boulogue Museum, led to his appointment to a minor post at the Louvre, where he assiduously transcribed all the inscriptions then in the collection, from which it was eventually possible to prepare a general inventory of the Egyptian monuments.

		In the Lepsius alphabet, however, the dot has the opposite meaning to the horizontal line, and is used to indicate a 'close' vowel.
		For this reason, in the alphabet proposed the number of new letters is reduced to a minimum, and the principle of representing each essential sound by a separate symbol is not always rigidly adhered to.

		The second, which he recommends, is the IPA phonetic script as "adapted to African languages in the Memorandum on Orthography published by the International Institute on African Languages and Cultures" and which uses "new letter forms instead of diacritical marks" (Rejaf 1928:15).

	Typotheque: Fedra Phonetic IPA
		Although some of its glyphs are unrelated to any standard alphabet, most characters are direct derivatives of characters of the Roman or Greek alphabets, so when designing IPA glyphs, it is tempting to reuse the already-designed Roman and Greek glyphs to save time.
		Some of these Roman and Greek derivatives have been rotated 180 degrees, which maintains the contrast of thick and thin, but some are mirrored, which results in incorrect weight distribution, making the glyphs appear inconsistent with the rest of the set.
		Earlier phonetical alphabets use more accented characters (Lepsius 1863), later ones introduce many new derivative glyphs (Pallum and Ladusaw 1986).
