View source for Iranian languages

{{TOCD}}
The '''Iranian languages''' include [[Farsi|Iranian Persian]], [[Dari]], [[Tajik]] (three varieties of Modern Persian), [[Pashto]], Balochi, Kurdish, [[Ossetian]], Tat, and several dozen other languages.

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==
The ultimate goal is to have multi-purposable transducers for a variety of Iranian languages. These can then be paired for X→Y translation with the addition of a [[Constraint Grammar|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===
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".

=== Table of Existing Pairs ===
Text in ''italics'' denotes language pairs in the incubator.  Regular text denotes a developing language pair in nursery, 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.
