The '''Turkic languages''' include [[Turkish]], [[Azeri]], [[Uzbek]], [[Kazakh]], [[Kyrgyz]], [[Tatar]], [[Chuvash]], [[Turkmen]], [[Bashkir]], 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 '''Turkic languages''' include [[Turkish]], [[Azeri]], [[Uzbek]], [[Uyghur]], [[Kazakh]], [[Kyrgyz]], [[Tatar]], [[Chuvash]], [[Turkmen]], [[Bashkir]], [[Sakha]], [[Crimean Tatar]] and several dozen other languages. The languages are related with varying levels of mutual intelligibility. A team called [[Apertium Turkic]] aims to enhance MT coverage of these languages within 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.

The ultimate goal is to have multi-purpose transducers and annotated corpora (i.e. treebanks) for a variety of Turkic 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.

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".

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".

=== Turkic languages by subgroup ===
* Oğuz: [[Turkish]], [[Azeri]], [[Turkmen]], [[Gagauz]], [[Trukhmen]], [[Afshar]], [[Qashqai]], [[Bojnur]], etc.
* Qarluq: [[Uzbek]], [[Uyghur]]
* Qıpçaq:
** West: [[Kumyk]], [[Karachay-Balkar]], [[Crimean Tatar]], [[Karaim]]
** North: [[Tatar]], [[Bashqort]]
** South (trad. East): [[Kazakh]], [[Karakalpak]], [[Nogay]]
** East: [[Kyrgyz]]
* Altay: [[South Altay]] (, [[Kyrgyz]])
* Yeniseian: [[Khakas]], [[Shor]], [[Chulym]], [[Baraba Tatar]], [[North Altay]]
* Sayan: [[Tuvan]], [[Tofa]], [[Tozhu]], [[Dukha]], [[Soyot]]
* Lena: [[Sakha]], [[Dolgan]]
* Arğu: [[Halaj]]
* Oğur: [[Chuvash]]

=== Pairs ===

Some Turkic languages that are particularly similar to one another (and hence have varying degrees of mutual intelligibility) include those in the following list:
* [[Turkish]], Azerbaycani, (Turkmen)
* [[Kazakh|Qazaq]], Qaraqalpaq, Noğay, ([[Kyrgyz|Qırğız]])
* [[Kumyk]], Karachay-Balkar
* [[Tatar]], [[Bashqort]]
* [[Uzbek]], Uyğur
* Shor, Khakas(, Altay)
* Sakha, Dolgan
* Tuvan, Tofa

[[Chuvash|Chuvash]] is very distant from other Turkic languages and is not even partially mutually intelligible with any of them.


==== Table of existing pairs ====
Text in ''italic'' denotes language pairs under development / in the incubator. Regular text denotes a functioning language pair in trunk, while text in '''bold''' denotes a stable well-working language pair.
{{see-also|Turkic-Turkic translator}}
Text in ''italics'' denotes prototype 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.

==Getting involved==
We have a [[Turkic-Turkic_translator|work plan for developing Turkic-Turkic translators]] and are working on a [[Turkic_lexicon|how-to for building a Turkic lexicon]]. Please come talk to us on [[IRC]] or contact us on the [[apertium-turkic]] mailing list.

The Turkic languages include Turkish, Azeri, Uzbek, Uyghur, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tatar, Chuvash, Turkmen, Bashkir, Sakha, Crimean Tatar and several dozen other languages. The languages are related with varying levels of mutual intelligibility. A team called Apertium Turkic aims to enhance MT coverage of these languages within 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[edit]

The ultimate goal is to have multi-purpose transducers and annotated corpora (i.e. treebanks) 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[edit]

See also: Turkic lexicon and Languages

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".
