['[BOLD] Language', '[BOLD] Phonemes', '[BOLD] Phones', '[BOLD] Sources']
This resource consists of mappings between phonemic and broad phonetic representations for 14 languages with diverse phonologies. Languages were chosen based on three conditions: There is significant annotated speech data available for the language variety There is a description of the phonology of the language variety including allophonic rules Additionally, there are currently several languages in alpha and beta states. Current alpha languages are Bengali (Indian; ben), Sundanese (sun), Swahili (swa), Portuguese (por), Cantonese (yue), Haitian (hat), and Zulu (zul). Current beta languages are Nepali (nep), Bengali (Bangladesh; ben), Korean (kor), Mongolian (mon), Greek (tsd), and Catalan (cat). We view AlloVera as an open-ended project which will continue expanding in the future.
