Comprehensive list of allophones of all English phonemes
Hi everybody,
In one of my classes, I am doing a contrastive analysis between English and Chinese. One problem I have been having is that I am not entirely clear about all the different allophones of each phoneme of English. I know some of the ones that are commonly used in Example (e.g., light and dark l, aspirated/unaspirated/unreleased p, t, k, etc.), but find myself unsure of others.
Does anybody know of a comprehensive list anywhere on the Internet that lists all the allophones of every phoneme in English? If so, I would appreciate it if you would post it here.
Thank you in advance for any help!

Possibly 'sh/zh'. I noticed recently that I pronounce 'Asian' with either, although 'Asia' always has 'sh'.

Both conditions are necessary.We may now list the rule that adds glottal stops before syllable final /p, t, k/, as in pronunications of "tip, pit, kick" as (tI?p, pI?t, kI?k)... This rule does not apply to all varieties of English. Some people do not have any glottal stops in these circumstances, and others have glottal stops completely replacing some or all of the voiceless stops. In any case, ev
