medieval runes ᚿᚵ C, CC
e: /e/ really only exists in diphthongs in general american. try saying "stay" without the /i/, or "ee" sound at the very end
y: /y/ is made by rounding the lips while making an /i/ sound. like saying the word "we", without moving your lips from the "w" shape
ø: /ø/ is made by rounding the lips while making an /e/ sound. like saying the word "weigh" without moving your lips from the "w" shape
n: a nasalized vowel is when you allow some air to pass through your nose, like making a stereotypical french laugh
ɸ: /ɸ/ is made by pushing air through nearly touching lips. like trying to make the /f/ sound without letting your lip touch your teeth
ɣ: /ɣ/ is made by trying to make the /g/ sound without letting your tongue touch the roof of your mouth
x: /x/ is like the /h/ sound, but with the back of your tongue nearly touching the front of your uvula
ç: /ç/ is like the /h/ and /x/ sounds, but with the middle of your tongue nearly touching the roof of your mouth
r: americans don't pronounce our "r's" this way like most users of the latin alphabet; but we do use it in words where t, tt, d, & dd are between vowels
ɹ: this is like the rhotic general american "r", but with the tip of the tongue curled backward
Æ: chiefly old english
L: primarily for latin transcription
