Dear colleagues,
I have just been contacted by a student in Hong Kong seeking help in
transcribing Slavic numerals into the International Phonetic
Alphabet. As I am not a phonetician and my phonetics courses used a
special phonetic alphabet, I am not able to help him. I have pasted
in his message below. If you can help him, please email him directly.
I'm sure he will be most appreciative.
Thanks!!
Best,
Sue
