     11 # Pronunciation rules for isiZulu.
     12 #
     13 # Author: mjansche (a] google.com (Martin Jansche)
     14 #
     15 # These rules transcribe isiZulu 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 isiZulu pronunciation dictionary
     19 # (http://rma.nwu.ac.za/index.php/resource-catalogue/nchlt-inlang-dictionaries.html).
     20 # They correctly account for all 15,000 entries in the dictionary.
     21 #
     22 # The NCHLT 2013 phone set does not indicate tone in any way. Transcription of
     23 # tone is out of scope without a dictionary, since tone is generally not
     24 # indicated in the orthography. Nasal clicks are not treated as separated
     25 # phonemes in the NCHLT 2013 phone set and are transcribed as a sequence of
     26 # 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 (depressor) clicks, e.g.  instead of , to
     30 # avoid ambiguity and make the phoneme inventory uniquely decodable.
