Abstract

Description

General phonemic pronunciations for frequently occurring words in SA languages. Dictionaries were developed to be practically usable for speech technology systems, rather than phonetically accurate. Audio samples of all phonemes included. A letter-to-sound rule set for predicting the pronunciations of generic words included. (Separate entry describes rule sets.)
