A proposed system of transliteration
of i.p.a characters for greek language
for computer use
katerina sarri, athens, 2000. (See i.p.a. for greek).
PRINCIPLES:
I took under consideration the systems: Kirshenbaum, SAMPA, etc. Unfortunately, these are case-sensitive, thus useless for computer use.
Do not confuse the phonetic transcription and script transliterations. (See transliteration of greek alphabet to latin for computer use).

Stress accent placed after the stressed vowel.

Note, that the symbol  '  creates problems with some browsers.
