Apertium-tat is a morphological analyser/generator and CG tagger for Tatar, currently under development. It is intended to be compatible with transducers for other Turkic languages so they can be translated among. It's used in the following language pairs:

• Kazakh and Tatar
• Tatar and Bashkir
• Tatar and Russian

Installation

apertium-tat is located in languages/apertium-tat.

You will need HFST, lttoolbox, apertium and vislcg installed on your computer to be able to use it.

The easiest way to get those dependencies is to install them from User:Tino Didriksen's repository (see Prerequisites for Debian or Prerequisites for RPM).

Then you can check out apertium-tat from our git repository and compile it:

git clone https://github.com/apertium/apertium-tat.git
cd apertium-tat
./autogen.sh
make

Otherwise, see the Installation page for instructions.

For spell checking

If you're compiling the apertium-tat spell checker, you'll additionally need these dependencies:

• hfst-ospell (./configure --enable-zhfst)
  • libarchive-dev
• corevoikko/libvoikko/src/tools/voikkospell (./configure --enable-hfst)

You'll want to configure apertium-tat with --enable-ospell and then after making it, copy tat.zhfst to ~/.voikko/3/tt.zhfst

Then you can do this:

$ echo "татарча билмим" | sed 's/ /\n/' | voikkospell -d tt -s
C: татарча
W: билмим
S: белмим
S: биелмим
S: бөлмим
S: бирмим
S: бүлмим

Usage

Morphological analysis:

$ echo "барабыз" | apertium -d . tat-morph 
^барабыз/бар<v><iv><pres><p1><pl>$^./.<sent>$

apertium -d . tat-tagger will give disambiguated output, apertium -d . tat-disam – disambiguated output in CG format showing which rules were applied:

$ echo "Без урманга таба барабыз." | apertium -d . tat-disam 
"<Без>"
	"без" prn pers p1 pl nom
;	"без" prn pers p1 pl nom
;		"и" cop p3 pl REMOVE:236
;	"без" prn pers p1 pl nom
;		"и" cop p3 sg REMOVE:236
"<урманга>"
	"урман" n dat
"<таба>"
	"таба" post SELECT:543
;	"таба" n nom
;		"и" cop p3 pl REMOVE:236
;	"таба" n nom
;		"и" cop p3 sg REMOVE:236
;	"таба" n attr REMOVE:452
;	"тап" v tv prc_impf SELECT:543
;	"таба" n nom SELECT:543
;	"тап" v tv pres p3 sg SELECT:543
"<барабыз>"
	"бар" v iv pres p1 pl
"<..>"
	".." sent
