Nik already gave you a link for ASCII-IPA which I=20
frequently consult myself. So instead I'd like to make=20
my own guesses as to how to transliterate Jakautdok.=20
After getting acquainted with ASCII-IPA yourself, tell=20
me if my guesses below are right. 8)

Since Jakautdok is a Filipino conlang. My guess is that=20
the proper ASCII-IPA transliteration for <ng yanligha>=20
is either:

/naN janlig,hah/ or /naN janlig,ha?/

In conventional Filipino orthography applied here; <ng>=20
represents a genitive marker pronounced /naN/, and=20
syllable final /h/ and /?/ are never represented. Also,=20
syllable final stops are never released (whether voiced=20
or voiceless).

Incidentally, Jakautdok is probably:

/djaka?ut,duk/

In conventional Filipino orthography used here; <j>=20
represents either a palatalized <d>, the glottal stop=20
is never represented, and <o> is an overrepresentation=20
of phonemic /u/.

So how did I do? 8)
