Name	Data type	Default

alphabet

The alphabet attribute specifies the phonetic alphabet. For NVP, this must be “ipa” or “x-l&amp;h+” (“x-l&h+” with the ampersand escaped, as required in XML), or the system will fall back to the element content. NVP does not support vendor-defined alphabets of “x-organization” or “x-organization-alphabet” forms.

ph

The ph attribute specifies the phoneme string.
