The symbol “~“ is what I use for both liaison and legato linking. The standard way of writing out the IPA is somewhat unsatisfactory. For example the IPA for: Les américains (the Americans) would normally be written: [lez ameʀikε̃] or [le zameʀikε̃] but I prefer [le~z~ameʀikε̃] with the liaison consonant in between two “~“s. In this way, one is able to pronounce each word separately, yet good legato is encouraged when said together. As every syllable begins with a consonant, the use of the symbol “~“ used for linking is shown in the following way. The IPA for: par exemple (for example) will be written as: [paʀ~εgzɑ̃pl]
