# Pronunciation rules for isiZulu.
|
||
#
|
||
# Author: mjansche@google.com (Martin Jansche)
|
||
#
|
||
# These rules transcribe isiZulu 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 isiZulu pronunciation dictionary
|
||
# (http://rma.nwu.ac.za/index.php/resource-catalogue/nchlt-inlang-dictionaries.html).
|
||
# They correctly account for all 15,000 entries in the dictionary.
|
||
#
|
||
# The NCHLT 2013 phone set 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 (depressor) clicks, e.g. ɡ\u0361ǀ instead of ɡǀ, to
|
||
# avoid ambiguity and make the phoneme inventory uniquely decodable.
