α for the aa/ah (same thing) sound

Aa for A/uh (making 'a' the only lowercase vowel to (sort of) say its own name)

Iι for "I" sound

Ee for the eh sound (that makes 'E' the only uppercase vowel that doesn't say its own name)

Oσ for oh sound

Ππ (pi) for or

o for aah sound

u for uh sound

Cc becomes ch

Yy... is kept for "words" like yum and yarr

Ωω (Omega) makes the oo sound

Λλ (lambda) makes the sh sound in the Nω Latin Alphabet

χx for th

Flaws
While I thought it was good at the time, it was far from well designed. For example, it neglected that... It should also be noted that... And an few oversights: [NωLA] The pronunciation of α is not clear. Today I would say ah maps to /æ/, while aa maps to /a/. Considering I've always associated o with /a/, and I made it distinct from α (ah vs aah; aa vs ahh) I would say α maps to /æ/
 * Affricates are two phonemes
 * Although, they are technically a seperate type of consonant
 * That diphthongs are multiple phonemes
 * Despite being considered one by nearly all speakers.
 *  making a seperate sound when isolated is not entirely phonetic
 * Almost all letters have both minescule and majescule allographs.
 * It's Anglo-Centric, nearly nothing Latinæ about it
 * I chose the Greek letters based on shape, and not meaning

Revival
Today, I thought it a good idea to make a better phonetic alphabet, based on my first phonetic alphabet.

This new version is called The (American) English Phonetic Alphabet, or EPA (or ÆPA).

Vowels
ρ for /ɚ/

Consonants
Voiceless|Voiced

c/j and λ/ʒ can also be used for similar sounds.

* Not literal articulation

** Optional in transcription
