[Lexicog] IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet)

Greetings All,
 
What I was looking for is the Koine IPA [e̞liniˈkʲi ˈɣlo̞sa] (Erasmian); see the link:
 
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Ancient_Greek_Romanization_and_Pronunciation
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA
 
I currently live in Japan and I would like my work to be read internationally. Here in Japan they teach the IPA for language studies. It is much better than the English transliteration or stongs pronunciation guidelines. In Japan, English is understood via Katakana (a Japanese transliterated alphabet of English). With this in mind, without the IPA Koine the reader falls to an English-Katakana mixture of sounds.
 
Anyway,
 
Thank you,
 
Richard

I was about to ask a question about this, when I went to the Wikipedia 
(http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Koine_Greek_ phonology). It's all there :-)..
