Ideal pairs for development

These pairs are ideal for development due to the closeness of the languages in question, or historical connection. Some are closer than others, but all are pretty close.

=European Union official languages

  • Danish <-> Swedish <-> Norwegian Bokmål <-> Norwegian Nynorsk <-> Icelandic <-> Faroese (North-Germanic dialect continuum)
Between Nynorsk and Bokmål there exists a proprietary implementation, Nynodata, some discussion here
  • Czech <-> Slovak
  • Indonesian <-> Malaysian
  • Slovenian <-> Serbo-Croatian <-> Macedonian <-> Bulgarian (South-Slavic dialect continuum)
  • Afrikaans <-> Dutch
  • Irish <-> Scots Gaelic — Kevin Scannell already has a system, but it could be Apertiumised.
  • Finnish <-> Estonian (Balto-Finnic, with agglutinative morphology)
  • Romanian <-> Aromanian
  • Italian <-> Neapolitan

Non-EU

  • Hindi <-> Urdu
  • Persian <-> Tajik
  • Northern Sotho <-> Sotho
  • Turkish <-> Azerbaijani <-> Turkmen <-> Tatar (Southwestern-Turkic, Oghuz dialect continuum)
  • Uyghur <-> Uzbek
  • Russian <-> Ukrainian <-> Belarusian (East-Slavic dialect continuum)
  • Dungan <-> Mandarin (not that many people speak Dungan)

Large pairs for which we should have something

  • Italian <-> French
  • Dutch <-> German
  • Italian <-> Spanish
  • English <-> Spanish
