Phonology Assistant

Following initial research into the phonetic sounds present in a language, research is needed to determine how these sounds occur, in order to develop a writing system that is as simple as possible to read and write. Phonology Assistant takes phonetic data that has been collected from speakers of a language and charts the sounds, helping the user to discover patterns and rules that govern the sounds of the language.

For other reasons, I maintain two separate FLEx databases on one language.
