11# Pronunciation rules for isiXhosa.
12#
13# Author: mjansche@google.com (Martin Jansche)
14#
15# These rules transcribe isiXhosa into the phoneme inventory used within the
16# NCHLT Speech Corpus (https://sites.google.com/site/nchltspeechcorpus/home).
17#
18# The rules were tested using the NCHLT-inlang isiXhosa pronunciation dictionary
19# (http://rma.nwu.ac.za/index.php/resource-catalogue/nchlt-inlang-dictionaries.html).
20# They correctly account for 14,999 out of 15,000 entries in the dictionary.
21#
22# The NCHLT 2013 phone set does not distinguish short and long vowels and does
23# not indicate tone in any way. Transcription of tone is out of scope without a
24# dictionary, since tone is generally not indicated in the orthography. Nasal
25# clicks are not treated as separated phonemes in the NCHLT 2013 phone set and
26# are transcribed as a sequence of nasal plus click instead.
27#
28# One minor notational deviation from the NCHLT 2013 phone set is that we use a
29# tie bar within the complex (slack voiced) clicks, e.g. ɡ͡ǀ instead of ɡǀ, to
30# avoid ambiguity and make the phoneme inventory uniquely decodable.
