'''Germanic languages''' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_languages) are a branch of the Indo-European language family spoken by a sizable population in Western Europe, North America and Australasia.The common ancestor of all the languages is called Proto-Germanic, which was spoken approximately in the mid-1st millenium BC in Iron Age northern Europe.The Germanic languages include [[English]], [[German]], [[Dutch]], [[Afrikaans]], [[Norwegian]], [[Danish]], [[Swedish]], [[Icelandic]] and [[Faroese]].
The '''Germanic languages''' ([http://www.ethnologue.com/subgroups/germanic gem]) constitute a branch of the Indo-European language family spoken primarily in Europe, Anglo-America and Australasia. The common ancestor of all the languages is called Proto-Germanic, which was spoken approximately in the mid-1st millenium BC in Iron Age northern Europe. Of the over 50 different Germanic languages, the most widely spoken are [[English]], [[German]], and [[Dutch]] with over 450 million speakers in total.


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.
Germanic languages by subgroup:


==Status==
* West-Germanic Languages
The ultimate goal is to have multi-purposable transducers for a variety of Germanic 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.
*[[German]] - [[Dutch]]
*[[German]]
*[[German]]
*[[Yiddish]]
*[[Luxemburgish]]
*[[Pennsylvania Dutch]]
*[[Low German]]
*[[Low German]]
*[[Plautdietsch]]
*[[Dutch]]
*[[Dutch]]
*[[Afrikaans]]
*[[Anglo - Frisian]]
*[[Frisian]]
*[[English]]


===Transducers===
* North-Germanic 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".

Revision as of 08:38, 5 January 2014

The Germanic languages (gem) constitute a branch of the Indo-European language family spoken primarily in Europe, Anglo-America and Australasia. The common ancestor of all the languages is called Proto-Germanic, which was spoken approximately in the mid-1st millenium BC in Iron Age northern Europe. Of the over 50 different Germanic languages, the most widely spoken are English, German, and Dutch with over 450 million speakers in total.

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 Germanic 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

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".

Pairs

Some Germanic languages that are particularly similar to one another (and hence have high levels of mutual intelligibility) include those in the following list:

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.
