Sinopsis

'Phonetic Spelling: A Proposed Universal Alphabet For The Rendering Of English, French, German And All Other Forms Of Speech' presents a fascinating exploration into the creation of a universal phonetic alphabet. Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston, a noted linguist and colonial administrator, proposes a system designed to accurately represent the sounds of not just English, but also French, German, and potentially all other languages. This work delves into the intricacies of phonetic representation, offering a detailed analysis of existing alphabets and suggesting improvements for achieving a truly universal system. This book is a valuable resource for linguists, language enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the science of phonetics and the challenges of creating a standardized writing system. Johnston?s vision provides a historical context to contemporary debates on language reform and standardization, making it a relevant read for those seeking to understand the complexities of representing speech in written form.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
