Revision as of 07:56, 30 April 2013
The Turkic languages include Turkish, Azeri, Uzbek, Uyghur, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tatar, Chuvash, Turkmen, Bashkir, Sakha, and several dozen other languages. The languages are related with varying levels of mutual intelligibility. Our goal is to enhance MT coverage of them with apertium.
The ultimate 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
The ultimate goal is to have multi-purposable transducers for a variety of Turkic 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
- See also: Turkic lexicon
Once a transducer has ~80% coverage on a range of corpora we can say it is "working". Over 90% and it can be considered to be "production".

Pairs
Some Turkic languages that are particularly similar to one another (and hence have high levels of mutual intelligibility) include those in the following list:
- Turkish, Azerbaycani(, Turkmen)
- Qazaq, Qaraqalpaq, Noğay(, Qırğız)
- Tatar, Bashqort
- Uzbek, Uyğur
- Shor, Khakas(, Altay)
- Sakha, Dolgan
- Tuvan, Tofa
Chuvash is very distant from other Turkic languages and is not even partially mutually intelligible with any of them.

Roadmap
- Stable release of apertium-kaz
- Stable release of apertium-tat
- Stable release of apertium-kaz-tat
- Rework apertium-kir to match new standards
- Bring apertium-bak up to date (based on apertium-tat)
- Expand apertium-tat-bak
- Beta release of apertium-kaz-kir
- Expand apertium-tuk
- Expand apertium-chv
- Basic transducers for:
- Khakas
- Tuvan
- Sakha
- Shor
- Qaralpaq (based on
TatarKazakh, probably, no?) - Uzbek
- Uyghur
Getting involved
We have a work plan for developing Turkic-Turkic translators and are working on a how-to for building a Turkic lexicon. Please come talk to us on IRC or contact us on the apertium-turkic mailing list.
Tagset
Rough guide to tagsets in various Turkic language transducers, with an eye to keeping stuff that is basically the same tagged the same. In the following table, A stands for Apertium and T stands for TRmorph (See also the general tagset list).

- Kovayla bira içerim, ama sen bilmezsin. Yarın gelir misin?
- Vedrəyle pivə içirəm, ama sen bilməzsən. Yarın gələrmisən?
- Чиләк белән сыра эчәм, әмма син белмисең. Иртәгә киләсеңме?
- Шелекпен сыра ішемін, бірақ сен білмейсің. Ертең келесің бе?
- Чака менен сыра ичем, бирок сен билбейсиң. Эртең келесиңби?
