## Positioning Diacritics

The following IPA diacritics are only used by eSpeak NG to fill out positions
in the IPA consonant and vowel charts. As such those phonemes are transcribed
according to the features at that position, not using the features at the
location of the base phoneme with a feature for each of the positioning
diacritics.

The articulations that do not have a corresponding feature name are recorded
using the features of their new location in the consonant or vowel charts, not
using the features of the base phoneme.
