Based on Shavian_Phonemes.xlsx compiled from shavian.info/alphabet and shavian.info/accents. Shavian was designed as a Proposed British Alphabet (Shaw's will, 1950); RP is its native accent. GA mappings reflect General American. Dialect fault lines — bath/trap, cot/caught, north/force — are shown explicitly. Compound letters represent orthographic units rather than simplex phonemes.
