Dania transcription

Dania (Latin for Denmark) is a transcription system commonly used in Denmark to describe the Danish language. It was invented by Danish linguist Otto Jespersen and published in 1890 in the magazine Dania, after which it was named.

Jespersen led an international conference in 1925 to establish an alternative to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) that approached the IPA but retained several elements of Dania transcription.
