The Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet (SAMPA) is a computer-readable phonetic script using 7-bit printable ASCII characters, based on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It was originally developed in the late 1980s for six European languages by the EEC ESPRIT information technology research and development program. As many symbols as possible have been taken over from the IPA; where this is not possible, other signs that are available are used, e.g. [@] for schwa (IPA [ə]), [2] for the vowel sound found in French deux 'two' (IPA [ø]), and [9] for the vowel sound found in French neuf 'nine' (IPA [œ]).
Today, officially, SAMPA has been developed for all the sounds of the following languages:
Arabic
Bulgarian
Cantonese
Czech
Danish
Dutch
English
Estonian
French
German
Greek
Hebrew
Hungarian
Italian
Norwegian
Polish
Portuguese
Romanian
Russian
Scots
Serbo-Croatian
Slovak
Slovenian
Spanish
Swedish
Thai
Turkish
The characters ["s{mp@] represent the pronunciation of the name SAMPA in English, with the initial symbol ["] indicating primary stress. Like IPA, SAMPA is usually enclosed in square brackets or slashes, which are not part of the alphabet proper and merely signify that it is phonetic as opposed to regular text.
