I'm Jonathan Washington and I work on Turkic-language morphological transducers. I'm also involved in work on Mongolic languages.

Apertium projects I'm involved in

Stand-alone transducers

apertium-kaz	Kazakh	36,595	~94.5%	developed much of morphotactics and morphophonology
apertium-tat	Tatar	55,702	~91%	helped develop morphotactics and morphophonology
apertium-bak	Bashqort	46,501	~66%	helped develop morphotactics and morphophonology
apertium-tyv	Tuvan	11,695	~92.7%	developed most of morphophonology
apertium-chv	Chuvash	10,267	~85%	helping develop morphotactics and morphophonology
apertium-kum	Qumuq	4,918	~90.2%	helping develop morphophonology and add stems
apertium-sah	Sakha	11,531	~89.6%	helping develop morphophonology
apertium-nog	Noğay	1,385	~81.4%	helping develop morphophonology
apertium-kaa	Qaraqalpaq	25,545	~86.1%	helping develop morphophonology

apertium-khk	Halh	441	~50.6%	working on morphotactics and morphophonology
apertium-bua	Buryat	217	~34.8%	began morphotactics, morphophonology, and lexicon
apertium-alt	Altay	284	~52.27%	most of it

MT pairs

project	languages	stems	coverage	contribution
apertium-tur-kir	Turkish-Kyrgyz			oversaw development
apertium-kaz-tat	Kazakh-Tatar		~88.7%, ~87%	oversaw development
apertium-kaz-kir	Kazakh-Kyrgyz		~87.3%, ~85.8%
apertium-khk-kaz	Khalkha-Kazakh			personal project
apertium-uzb-kir	Uzbek-Kyrgyz			personal project
apertium-bua-khk	Buryat-Khalkha			personal project
apertium-kaz-kaa	Kazakh-Qaraqalpaq			oversaw development
apertium-kaa-uzb	Qaraqalpaq-Uzbek			a pair I'd like to see

I consider khk-kaz, uzb-kir, and kaa-uzb to be pairs that are particularly socially and politically important.

Contact

For interaction with students regarding Apertium-related matters, I prefer IRC (public channels preferred to individual chat), GitHub issues, and email (in that order).

For less work-related matters (off-topic chatter, or even pinging to look at something more urgently), I'm okay being pinged on Hangouts, Signal, and WhatsApp (in that order).

I am also happy to use Zoom, PSTN, and Skype (in that order) as other modes of communication.

You can contact me one of these ways (probably start in the #apertium IRC channel) to inquire about other methods.

Timezone: I'm in EDT/EST (UTC-4/UTC-5), but the time(s) of day I'm available depend on a lot of factors. Just check with me for a given period of time.
