[ID: an animation of a red, heart-shaped locket opening to reveal an image of the International Phonetic Alphabet vowel chart and the text "Wikipedia page for IPA vowel chart with audio."]

That ol’ chart of mine makes the rounds online periodically and it drives me crazy because it’s frankly not very good. So, I finally got around to remaking it.

I doubt this will get anywhere near as popular, but I wanted to make it.

Good reference for animation, comics, and for visualizing phonetics!

I love being the type of freak who decides she's gonna make an entire conlang for her fully home-made TTRPG system.

Connections is wrong about something today. For linguistics reasons. Since Twitter doesn’t exist anymore, I’m trusting you to reboot this enough that the NY Times will pay attention to it.

Go!

Majel Barrett, the voice of the Starfleet computer on Star Trek, recorded an entire library of phonetic sounds before she died which allowed the voice to be used as the computer for future generations.
