That's all (well, not the j/y thing) standard CXS, as
has been used on this list for quite a while. The
usually-given URL for it is
<http://cassowary.free.fr/Linguistics/cxschart.png>,
which has the IPA and CXS side-by-side (modelled after
another that did the same for X-Sampa). CXS is meant
to be a human-readable version of X-Sampa and mostly
cropped up by being used here; it also becomes less
ambiguous if you use [tS)] for [t_S] so that a
co-articulated [pt)] is quite clear, whereas [p_t]
might be a breathy-voiced [p] (if such a thing is possible).
