==Why is it you are interested in machine translation?==
Machine translation is very important area where has not been done enough researches and studies. Especially on native languages of nations with a small population. As a computer scientist i would like to contribute in such important and interesting field


==Which of the published tasks are you interested in? What do you plan to do?==
== Developing new Turkish (<code>tr</code>) → Kyrgyz (<code>ky</code>) apertium language pair. ==
Apertium is one of the effective and developing and at the same time working out of the box open source project based on machine translation out here. In almost all machine translation projects the Turkic languages are very poorly developed, some languages are not developed at all. I will develop a new Turkic language pair Turkish (<code>tr</code>)-Kyrgyz (<code>ky</code>) where Kyrgyz (<code>ky</code>) side will be completely developed from scratch.
And apertium project has all of the tools and platform to do that.
As a part of this project a new bilingual dictionary and morphological analyzer for Kyrgyz language will be developed.
Both of them could be used in many purposes.The project deliver ables could be used as translation tool from tr-ky and as educational tool as well. And it could help as a tutorial for other Turkic based languages.

If the words are ambiguous for stem/POS? I am trying come up with solution soon.

If I could get part-of-speeches of Turkish words in dictionary I could use it in building apertium tr-ky bilingual dictionary. I am planning to cover at least 3000 of words in 12 days.

Why is it you are interested in machine translation?[edit]

Machine translation is very important area where has not been done enough researches and studies. Especially on native languages of nations with a small population. As a computer scientist i would like to contribute in such important and interesting field

Which of the published tasks are you interested in? What do you plan to do?[edit]

Title: Apertium-tr-ky: New Turkish-Kyrgyz language pair.


Reasons why Google and Apertium should sponsor it[edit]

In almost all machine translation projects the Turkic languages are very poorly developed, some languages are not developed at all. I will develop a new Turkic language pair Turkish (tr)-Kyrgyz (ky) where Kyrgyz (ky) side will be completely developed from scratch. Interesting part of Kyrgyz language is it is Cyrillic written but Turkic based language. It will be first language pair of its type in apertium project and other machine translation projects as well.

How and who it will benefit in society?[edit]

As a part of this project a new bilingual dictionary and morphological analyzer/generator for Kyrgyz language will be developed. Both of them could be used in many purposes. The project deliverable could be used as translation tool from tr-ky and as educational tool as well. And it could help as a tutorial for other Turkic based languages.

Work and research done, resources[edit]

Language Information[edit]

Noun morphology[edit]

Kyrgyz language has several cases:

  • absolute,
  • definite-accusative,
  • dative,
  • locative,
  • ablative,
  • genitive

Words in Kyrgyz language morphologically built by applying suffixes in following order:

  • plural suffix
  • suffix of possession
  • personal suffix
  • case-ending
 
китеп (kitep)= book is the stem
китеп+plural+pronoun китептер (kitepter)
китептер (kitepter) is books
китептеримден (kitepterimden)  китеп +(pl)тер +(pronoun)им +(case)ден	from by books

A noun has 5 cases

ky Gloss tr
китеп (kitep) book kitap
китептин (kiteptin) of that book o kitabın
китепке (kitepke) to that book o kitaba
китепти (kitepti) that book o kitabı
китепте (kitepte) in that book o kitapta
китептен (kitepten) from that book o kitaptan

Agglutination case[edit]

ex: 

verb = окуу (okuu) = to read, stem = оку (oku) read

(ky) окуп жатам (okwp jatam )
	оку+п жат+ам (present continous, pr1, kyrgyz)
	I am reading

(Mostly verbs in present continuous tense defined by two verbs. ex: оку+п жат+ам, жатам --> helping verb to define the present continuous tense).

(tr) okuyorum
	oku+yor+um (present continous, pr1, turkish)
	I am reading
	
	gidiyorum = I am going
	git (lemma) -i -yor (for continuous tense) -um (for first personal pronoun)   (Turkish)

(ky) окуп жатам (okup žatam) = I am reading
	оку (lemma) +п(for continuous tense) жат(second verb for continuous tense) +ам (for first personal pronoun) (present continuous, p1sg, kyrgyz)

	окудум (okudum) = I read
	оку (lemma) +ду (for past tense) +м(for first personal pronoun) (past tense, p1sg, Kyrgyz)

Vowel harmony[edit]

Generally there is vowel harmony in Kyrgyz language but words imported from other languages like Russian do not obey vowel harmony restrictions. 

китеп         (kitep)		book
китептер      (kitepter)	books
китептерим    (kitepterim)	my books

китептеримден           (kitepterimden) 
китеп.тер.им.ден	
китеп+Pl+Px1Sg+Abl	
`From my books.'

In Turkish the word "bira" (beer) is imported from French, and in Kyrgyz, пиво "pivo" is imported from Russian

пиво (pivo)			beer
пивалар (pivalar)		beers
пиваларым (pïvalarım)	my beers
пиваларымдан (pïvalarımdan)	from my beers

Noun and Verb comparisons[edit]

Noun :

Kyrgyz Turkish Gloss
китеп (kitep) kitab book
китептер (kitepter) kitaplar books
китебим (kitebim) kitabım my book
китептерим (kitepterim) kitaplarım my books
китептен (kitepten) kitaptan from book
китептерден (kitepterden) kitaplardan from books
китебимден (kitebimden) kitabımdan from my book
китептеримден (kitepterimden) kitaplarımdan from my books

Verb:

Kyrgyz Turkish Gloss
ойнойм (ojnojm) oynarım I play
ойнойсуң (ojnojsuŋ) oynarsın You play
ойнойт (ojnojt) oynar He plays
ойнойт (ojnojt) oynar She plays
ойнойт (ojnojt) oynar It plays
ойнойсуңуз (ojnojsuŋuz) oynarsınız You (pl.) play
ойнойбуз (ojnojbuz) oynarız We play
ойнощот (ojnošot) oynarlar The play

Dictionary Information[edit]

As I mentioned above one part of the project is building bilingual dictionary. Fortunately I am not going to build it from nothing. There is StarDict version of Turkish-Kyrgyz dictionary without part-of-speech definitions. StarDict tr-ky dictionary consist 4,600 unique entries of nouns and verbs mixed. Part-of-speech could be extracted by using trmorph (open-source Turkish morphological analyser).

Lexical Selection Example: 

Verb (tr) çalışmak (en) to work 

(tr) Ahmet fabrikada çalışıyor. (en) Ahmet is working in a factory.  (ky) Ахмет фабрикада иштейт (Axmet fabrikada ištejt)
(tr) Ahmet ders çalışıyor.      (en) Ahmet is studying.              (ky) Ахмет сабак окул жатат. (Axmet sabak okul žatat)

Adjective (tr) hasta (en) ill

(tr) Ahmet hasta.     (en) Ahmet is ill.               (ky) Ахмет ооруп жатат.         (Ahmet oorup žatat)
(tr) Hasta geldi.     (en) (the) ill (person) arrived  (ky) оорулуу келди. (Ooruluu keldi)

If the words are ambiguous for stem/POS? I am trying come up with solution soon.

If I could get part-of-speeches of Turkish words in dictionary I could use it in building apertium tr-ky bilingual dictionary. I am planning to cover at least 3000 of words in 12 days.

Kyrgyz Language morphological analyser/generator[edit]

I am developing it by using HFST (Open source project for developing morphological analyser/generators).I am still learning HFST, but simple Kyrgyz language analyser is ready according to Francis Tyers tutorial (http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Starting_a_new_language_with_HFST).

What is done already[edit]

An apertium project tr-ky is created as a project on SourceForge which consist of bilingual dictionary and simple Kyrgyz language morphological analyzer.
