Ellis created a number of other phonetic transcription systems to represent the sounds of English and considered some of them as suitable replacements for standard English spelling.
Notable features
- Dialectal paleotype is based on the Roman alphabet, and the name means "old alphabet".
- The total number of symbols in this system is over 250, some of which are shown below
