Er, the thread (more like a filament) is here bsky.app/profile/spee...
Oh, and for an IPA chart www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/content/ipa-... 💬
Neural representations of speech production in neocortical and cerebellar regions
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.30.702863v1
In 1886, the International Phonetic Association created the IPA - a standardized system to transcribe sounds of any language. Universal alphabet for linguists!

Check out HARPY: 1971 DARPA project:
Speech understanding system that aimed to:
Goal (November, 1971)
Accept connected speech
Many cooperative speakers
Use 1000 word vocabulary
Task-oriented grammar
Constraining task
Less than 10% Semantic Errors
Requiring ~300 MIPSS www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiiD...
