User:Sushain/UralicLanguages
The Uralic languages (urj) constitute a language family of some three dozen related languages descended from a Proto-Uralic language and spoken by more than 25 million people throughout Europe and Northern Asia. With the most native speakers, Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian are all Uralic languages.
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 Uralic 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".
Uralic languages by subgroup
All Uralic languages are thought to have descended, through independent processes of language change, from Proto-Uralic. The traditional classification is as follows:
- Samoyedic languages
- Finno-Ugric languages
- Ugric languages (Ugrian)
- Finno-Permic languages (Permian-Finnic)
- Permic languages: Komi (Komi-Zyrian, Komi-Permyak), Udmurt
- Finno-Volgaic languages (Finno-Cheremisic, Finno-Mari)
- Mari: Meadow Mari, Hill Mari
- Mordvinic languages: Erzya
- Finno-Lappic languages (Finno-Saamic, Finno-Samic)
- Sami languages: Northern Sami, Southern Sami, Inari Sami, Lule Sami
- Finnic languages: Finnish, Estonian, Võro, Kven, Livonian
Existing language pairs
Text in italic denotes language pairs under development / in the incubator. Regular text denotes a functioning language pair in staging, while text in bold denotes a stable well-working language pair in trunk.
