# Pronunciation rules for isiXhosa.
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
# Author: mjansche@google.com (Martin Jansche)
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
# These rules transcribe isiXhosa into the phoneme inventory used within the
|
|
|
# NCHLT Speech Corpus (https://sites.google.com/site/nchltspeechcorpus/home).
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
# The rules were tested using the NCHLT-inlang isiXhosa pronunciation dictionary
|
|
|
# (http://rma.nwu.ac.za/index.php/resource-catalogue/nchlt-inlang-dictionaries.html).
|
|
|
# They correctly account for 14,999 out of 15,000 entries in the dictionary.
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
# The NCHLT 2013 phone set does not distinguish short and long vowels and does
|
|
|
# not indicate tone in any way. Transcription of tone is out of scope without a
|
|
|
# dictionary, since tone is generally not indicated in the orthography. Nasal
|
|
|
# clicks are not treated as separated phonemes in the NCHLT 2013 phone set and
|
|
|
# are transcribed as a sequence of nasal plus click instead.
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
# One minor notational deviation from the NCHLT 2013 phone set is that we use a
|
|
|
# tie bar within the complex (slack voiced) clicks, e.g. ɡ͡ǀ instead of ɡǀ, to
|
|
|
# avoid ambiguity and make the phoneme inventory uniquely decodable.
