Abstract
Acoustic phones (preferably drawnfrom a plurality of spoken languages) are providedA hierarchically-organized polyphone network () organizes views of these phones of varying resolution and phone categorization as a function, at least in part, of phonetic similarity () and at least one language-independent phonological factor (). In a preferred approach, a unique transcription system serves to represent the phones using only standard, printable ASCII characters, none of which comprises a special character (such as those characters that have a command significance for common script interpreters such as the UNIX command line).
