     Sherall standard pronounciation - David Starner (SSP)

(The Sherall are a future genetically engineered variant of humans, who
lost the ability to pronounce plosives or labials. (There were mentioned
here a long time ago.) Academics, working on English texts have
produced a way to pronounce English; this is it in X-Sampa.)
