Kazakh and Tatar

This is a language pair translating between Kazakh and Tatar.

General TODO

See /Work_plan.

1. Declination of Tatar nouns ending with -и.
2. Set up bidix-with-context.sh script (see apertium-kaz-tat/dev/bidix; seems to be very useful, requires another script from spectie).
3. Add some of the short wikipedia-article-like texts I have for evaluation into texts (should be ~200 words).
4. Implement cont. class for compound/multiword nouns which already have possessive ending (<px3sp>), e.g. Қытай Халық Республикасы.
   1. This continuation class should link only to CASE (but consider that some of them can have plural form: ишегаллары).
5. Add "ярты", "ярым" and "чирек" as numerals, but don't link them to common numerals cont. class.
6. (Lexical selection rule): сондай-ақ > шулай-ук
7. Fix roman numerals:
   1. add them to tat.lexc too;
   2. change LEXICON NUM-ROMAN to something like this: %<num%>%<ord%>: # ; .
8. Add transfer rule(s) to handle instrumental case of all parts-of-speech which are subject to substantivation, not only of nouns (this is one of the things which make testvoc results look bad)
9. Pronouns
   1. check cont. classes (note: if it looks like an overgeneration, and me is not sure about it, overgenerate in both lexc's)
   2. translate pronouns from kaz.lexc, add them to bidix and add equivalents into tat.lexc
10. Determiners
    1. "unify" cont. classes and tags
    2. add stems

Twol realated stuff

1. Current: ^миллион<num><subst><dat>$ --> миллионге Should be: ^миллион<num><subst><dat>$ --> миллионға
2. Current: ^сөйле<v><tv><coop><ger_past><loc>$ --> сөйлесгенде Should be: ^сөйле<v><tv><coop><ger_past><loc>$ --> сөйлескенде
3. Deletion of soft sign "ь" before vowels in Tatar (see comments at the end of the apertium-tat/apertium-tat.tat.twol file)
4. Kazakh: ^ойна<v><tv><ifi><p1><pl>$ --> ойнадык Should be: ойнадыҚ

Discuss first

1. There is only one formal form (<frm>) in Tatar, which can be both sg and plural. But in Kazakh there are two forms. Should I pretend as if in Tatar it *were* the same and duplicate the same form with a different tag or should I handle it in transfer?

• /Postpositions

To run tests, use aq-regtest utility from Apertium-quality tools. E.g.

aq-regtest -d . kaz-tat http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Special:Export/Kazakh_and_Tatar/Postadvebs

Done

But keep an eye on this

• Numerals
  • kaz <num><subst>(<px3>) in fractions = tat <num><subst>(<px3>)
  • kaz <num><coll><advl> = tat <num><coll>
  • kaz <num><coll><subst> = tat <num><subst>
