[Lexicog] IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet)

[William Poser]

We certainly don't have the kind of knowledge of classical or koine
phonetics that we would if they had been so kind as to pass down
audio recordings, but a reasonable amount is known. The standard
reference is W.Sidney Allen's book "Vox Graeca", which in spite of its
Latin title is in English. Evidence comes from a variety of sources,
ranging from descriptions by ancient Greek grammarians to the way
in which Greek words are represented in other languages.

(There is a corresponding book entitled "Vox Latina" on the evidence
for classical Latin pronounciation.)
