The UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database (or UPSID) is a statistical survey of the phoneme inventories in 451 of the world's languages. The database was created by American phonetician Ian Maddieson for the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1984 and has been updated several times.
The UPSID-451 data used in PHOIBLE Online were extracted from a DOS software package. Each segment description, originally given in an ASCII encoding (e.g. XW9:) was mapped to Unicode IPA and each inventory was assigned an ISO 639-3 language name identifier. For details, see Moran 2012, chp 4; the UPSID-to-Unicode mappings are given in Moran ...
