Luciano Canepari


Luciano Canepari (Italian pronunciation: [luˈtʃaːno kaneˈpaːri]; b. 19 January 1947 in Venice) is a professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Venice. He received his academic training at that university. He developed a phonetic transcription system called canIPA [kaˈniːpa], based on the official IPA. The canIPA consists of 500 basic, 300 complementary and 200 supplementary symbols. It is a work in progress, intended to permit the transcription of all world languages in more exact detail than the official IPA. It has seen little use apart from its inventor, but is occasionally seen elsewhere.

He has also published a number of workbooks and recordings used in connection with these books.
