    I’m shite at reading accents from IPA but I’m gonna guess northern England. Or California. Dynamic extremes! Which is right?

      IPA. it’s English but with the phonetic symbols for each sound (instead of letters, so “ng” is actually one symbol: ŋ, and soft “th” is ð)

  Not really. There’s accents and things that mess that up.

  Not really, because of accent differences. The best you could do is account for all phonemes distinguished across standardized varieties, regardless of their phonetic realization. Of course, you couldn’t possibly account for all of them (e.g. distinguishing the Australian /æ/ vs /æː/ would be troublesome for British and American speakers).
