So then, the IPA seems to cover all the tonal possibilities and regional variations. Thanks for explaining it.

But - back to my original gripe - where does that leave AWAD's "uh-SEV-uh-rayt" and its ilk? Who played god and decided that these sounds were identical "uh"s? And for which region are these pronunciations valid?
