Dania transcription

Some Danish handbooks (including some pronunciation dictionaries) use a transcription standard different from the IPA known as Dania which utilizes the pronunciation of Danish vowel letters. There is no official moderation of the standard, and specific phonetic symbols may therefore differ from author to author. Also there are no absolute phonetic references for the standard, and its usage is therefore discouraged by Danish phoneticians and phonologists.
