The Americanist system of transcription – sometimes called the North American Phonetic Alphabet (NAPA) – is one of two major orthographies used to reduce languages to a universal writing system presumably known by all language scholars. But historically the goals of the American system and its competitor, the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), were somewhat different, resulting in some incongruities in their respective notations
