Explore the experimental pronunciation resource and understand its limits.
Kifuliiru Phonetics (KPG) is an experimental tool for exploring how written Kifuliiru relates to pronunciation representations. It can show a practical reading aid alongside candidate IPA notation. IPA is a notation used to describe speech sounds.
The tool is a resource for exploration and discussion. Its output should be read alongside language explanations and speaker evidence, especially where a pronunciation or mapping remains under review.
Start with a word or short expression whose spelling and meaning you know. Keep the original text with the result. Compare the practical representation and the IPA candidate separately: they serve different readers and may use different symbols for a related sound.
Use the generation and review guide to ask a focused question about a result. For a fuller explanation of the language, begin with the public phonetics reference.
Some mappings remain candidates for review. The tool does not provide a complete, reviewed pronunciation dictionary or a complete account of prosody. A generated result should not be treated as a speaker recording or as proof that all uses of a word have the same pronunciation.
When a result seems unclear, preserve the input, the displayed representation, and the surrounding language context. A speaker explanation or recording can help clarify the question.
