| 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 | |||
