What is Cyrillic phonetic alphabet?

There are several conventions for phonetic transcription using the Cyrillic script, typically augmented with Latin and Greek to fill in missing sounds. The details vary by author, and depend on which letters are available for the language of the text.

Authors differ, for example, in whether they transcribe the voiced fricatives with the South Slavic letters ⟨ѕ⟩ and ⟨џ⟩, with the ligatures ⟨ꚉ⟩ and ⟨ԫ⟩ , or as simple digraphs ⟨д͡з⟩ and ⟨д͡ж⟩. Latin w, l, k and h are commonly used for IPA , though q is also used with its IPA value instead of k. Greek φ and γ are commonly used for IPA.
