My example was just about implementing phonetic sounds to Latin alphabet. This 
doesn't relate to any languages(Turkish or Farsi or Majabaratikati). They 
have done it in recent time so their methodology should be helpful for you. 
you can't do it for English or any other European languages. Because of time, 
what their are pronouncing are very different to what their are writing. 
Usually written forms change much slower than oral forms. Turks have done 
this very recently so that their works can be used.

I don't understand why Iranian have the habit of denying their past. Dr Mo'in
was very great man. He was very knowladgable and used the best persons of that 
time in writing of this great book.He work all of its life to write  two 
great books. Farhang-e mo'in was a masterpeace of his time. I know it has 
many lacks. This is because nobody did revise it from the time of 
publication. But it has many great features you can't find in any other 
dictionary. One of them was using phonetic alphabet. It was a very hard task. 
because they did not have phonetic fonts in their printing house. So they 
build them. You can be sure it is  correct in 99.9% of time.

Anyway don't compare yourself with a great man like Dr Mo'in.
