It would, until you have to pronounce a sound you have trouble making.
- fragmede 16y agoI'm not a linguist. How often does that happen? Does it happen sufficiently often enough that finding the right sound(s) on a full IPA chart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPA_chart_2005_png.svg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPA_chart_2005_png.svg) and using that as the larger 'keyboard' is too cumbersome?
- maw 16y agoDepends on who's doing the pronouncing, I suppose, but certainly linguists are not competent in all languages. Two obvious examples occur to me. The first is the clicking sound in some African languages. Another is a speaker accustomed to a limited set of vowels trying to input vowel sounds he can't replicate well.
