NOT a simple task. There are so many languge units (phonics, and some things
that I'm not 100% sure are even concidered phonics) that learning them all (or
even how to write or describe them all) would take a lot of time and effort.
Even writing them in plain ASCII would be dificult.

I've, in the past, been reading Wikipedia entries on languages, and the litany
of technical terms on positioning of tounge and mouth and how you breathe or
whatnot is like a foreign language-- if you don't already know the jargon, you
are lost. Probably need the equivalent of at least on semester of lingustics
classes just to get the terms straight.
