Nebyetic Phonetic Alphabet

The Nebyetic Phonetic Alphabet (NPA) is a notional system used for the transcription of reconstructed Sumro-Naukl languages or modern varients with little to no written representation. It was created with the purpose of creating a uniform orthography in which to write reconstructed Sumro-Naukl languages to allow for optimum comparison between them without having to learn multiple orthographies. The NPA borrowed characters heavily from IPA. NPA is generally written in italics.

Note that the NPA is designed to be a broad transcription rather than phonetic, with diacriticless being preferred over ones with diacritics when the vowel usually attributed to the diacriticless character is not present in the language such as Proto-Mangeodge having  /ɑ/ rather than the usual <ǎ> due to the lack of /a/.

=Vowels= Diaeresis is used to toggle roundedness or a central vowel: <ÿ ü ö ë> /ɨ ʉ ø ɤ/. The hacek is used to mark lax vowels: <ǔ ě ǒ ǎ> /ʊ ɛ ɔ ɑ/. Long vowels are marked by writing the vowel twice although Proto-Mangeodge long vowels are usually transcribed with macrons.

=Consonants=

The dental fricative <δ> and uvular fricative <ʀ> both represent voiced fricatives.

Labialised consonant are marked with <ʷ>, palatalized consonants with <ʲ> and velarised consonants with <ˠ>.

 may also refer to a voiceless uvular fricative.

<ʀ> may also represent a uvular approximant

=Usage= Languages that are transcribed in NPA are as follows:
 * Proto-Sumro-Naukl
 * Proto-Mangeodge
 * Proto-Naukl
 * Proto-Sumric
 * All of the Sucumian languages
