The '''Semetic languages''' (<code>[http://www.ethnologue.com/subgroups/semetic sem]</code>) constitute a group of related languages and a branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family. Spoken by more than 470 million people throughout North Africa and Southwest Asia, the most widely spoken Semetic languages are [[Arabic]], [[Maltese]], [[Hebrew]], [[Amharic]], and [[Tigrigna]].
The '''Dravidian languages''' (<code>[http://www.ethnologue.com/subgroups/dravidian dra]</code>) constitute a language family of about 70 languages spoken primarily in South Asia. The four most populous Dravidian languages, [[Telugu]], [[Tamil]], [[Kannada]], and [[Malayalam]], are recognized by the Constitution of India and encompass a significant portion of the over 215 million Dravidian speakers.

The Dravidian languages (dra) constitute a language family of about 70 languages spoken primarily in South Asia. The four most populous Dravidian languages, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, are recognized by the Constitution of India and encompass a significant portion of the over 215 million Dravidian speakers.

The master plan involves generating independent finite-state transducers for each language, and then making individual dictionaries and transfer rules for every pair. The current status of these goals is listed below.

Status[edit]

The ultimate goal is to have multi-purposable transducers for a variety of Dravidian languages. These can then be paired for X→Y translation with the addition of a CG for language X and transfer rules / dictionary for the pair X→Y. Below is listed development progress for each language's transducers and dictionary pairs.

Transducers[edit]

Once a transducer has ~80% coverage on a range of medium-large corpora we can say it is "working". Over 90% and it can be considered to be "production".

Existing language pairs[edit]

Text in italics denotes language pairs in the incubator. Regular text denotes a developing language pair in staging, while text in bold denotes a stable well-working language pair in trunk and text in bold and italics denotes a pair in staging. Bidix stems as counted with dixcounter are displayed below.

Dravidian languages by subgroup[edit]

The Dravidian languages form a close-knit family. Most scholars agree on four groups: North, Central (Kolami–Parji), South-Central (Telugu–Kui) and South Dravidian:

  • Central (Kolami–Parji) languages
    • Kolami-Naiki languages (Kolami)
    • Parji-Gadaba languages (Duruwa, Gadaba)
  • Northern languages (Brahui, Kurux, Sauria)
  • Southern (Tamil–Tulu) languages
  • South-Central (Telugu-Kui) languages
    • Gondi-Kui languages (Gondi, Konda-Kui)
    • Telugu languages (Telugu, Savara, Chenchu)

Samples[edit]

Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
