Luciano Canepari (Italian pronunciation:[luˈtʃaːnokaneˈpaːri];[1][2] born 19 January 1947) is an Italian linguist. Canepari was a professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Venice, where he received his academic training.
He developed a phonetic transcription system called canIPA[kaˈniːpa],[3] based on the official IPA. The canIPA consists of 500 basic, 300 complementary and 200 supplementary symbols, a few of which are encoded in Unicode. It is a work in progress, intended to permit the transcription of all world languages in more exact detail than the official IPA. It has seen little use apart from its inventor[4] or his co-authors.[5]
canIPA
Luciano Canepari made a phonetic alphabet called ᶜᵃⁿIPA. In the books of Canepari, both IPA and canIPA are shown, IPA as ᵒᶠᶠIPA. This is the main criticism of IPA. The canIPA has many unfamiliar rows and columns not in the IPA.
