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
   3. ^нигез/ни<prn><itg><px2pl><nom>
10. Determiners
    1. "unify" cont. classes and tags
    2. add stems
11. Adjectives
    1. personal clitics after adjectives are not implemented yet

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?

Part-of-speech related TODO's and DONE's can be found here:

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>
