gently holding the hands of the author of any wikipedia phonology article for a language that uses the latin alphabet: it’s okay, you can use your IPA here. yes i know a lot of the symbols look similar. this is a phonoooollloooogyyyy article, so we have to use standard symbols or people who don’t know the language won’t understand
