Read Lexicon

The Read Lexicon: a spelling dictionary for the Shavian alphabet following the rhotic Received Pronunciation standard.

This repository contains the data files used for the searchable Read Lexicon.

readlex.json

The JSON file, readlex.json, contains words grouped by headword, with each word having:

1. the Latin alphabet spelling
2. the Shavian alphabet spelling
3. The part of speech (POS) tagged according to the C5 tagset used in the British National Corpus
4. The Received Pronunciation based pronunciation adopted for the purpose of the Shavian spelling in the International Phonetic Alphabet. This includes some additional information in CAPITAL LETTERs, namely the standard word signs are “the” Ð, “to” T, “and” N, “of” V, and “for” F. The reinserted Rs not normally found in RP are represented by a capital R. Both options for the TRAP-BATH split and the TRAP-BATH merger are represented by capital Ɑː and capital Æ respectively. Some Shavian conventions around the spelling of /ə/ and unstressed /ɪ/ in some contexts are given as Ə and I, and both are transliterated as 𐑩 for the purposes of the Kingsley Read Lexicon. The voiceless /ʍ/ is also distinguished from /w/ for those who want it (e.g. to generate Quikscript spellings), but for the purposes of the Kingsley Read Lexicon both are transliterated as 𐑢.
5. The word frequency from the British National Corpus, for statistical interest and supporting predictive text applications.

readlex.tsv

The TSV file has five columns representing the above information, but does not group words by headword.

readlex_converter.json and readlex_converter_phrases.json

The files readlex_converter.json and readlex_converter_phrases.json have been developed for use with the latin2shaw.py script for auto-transliteration (see below).

readlex.dict

The file readlex.dict (and addendum.dict) is adapted for use with Dave Coffin's scrips available at Dechifro.org.

latin2shaw.py

The file latin2shaw.py is the script I use for the ReadLex Converter. It uses spaCy for part of speech tagging.

To use latin2shaw.py you'll need to install the following packages with it:

• spaCy and an English language model (I use en_core_web_sm), following the instructions here
• unidecode
• smartypants
• bs4 (BeautifulSoup)

You will also need to make sure that latin2shaw.py points to the locations where you have saved readlex_converter.json and readlex_converter_phrases.json.

readlex's Issues

missing word: concatenate

"concatenation(s)" is in the dictionary, interestingly, but not "concatenate", "concatenated", etc

converter adding spaces to beginning/end of output

Converter consistently adds 1 space to beginning of output, and 2 spaces to end of output.

Clarification on the readlex methodology regarding yods

I was thinking of the word DUNE and how there are roughly three different pronunciations for this word:

𐑛𐑿𐑯, 𐑛𐑵𐑯, and 𐑡𐑵𐑯 (see this video for more haha)

Now, theoretically if we just said that the canonical spelling is 𐑛𐑿𐑯, then people that drop the yod would still drop the yod, and people that say 𐑡 would still say it like that.

Basically, the combination of consonant+yod would be an indicator for many different accents of how to say it.

In fact, 𐑿 being a compound letter seems to indicate that Read thought you would always keep the yod, right?

I believe that this is a different subject from something like 𐑤𐑭𐑕𐑑 vs 𐑤𐑨𐑕𐑑.

Thoughts?

Why do we need schwas before an L or R? Aren’t they implied?

Take “dial”. Why is it 𐑛𐑲𐑩𐑤 instead of just 𐑛𐑲𐑤?

Is it even possible to pronounce that L without a little schwa before it? If not, why even write the schwa? It seems included with the L inherently, no?

I understand there are non-rhotic accents, but the same question goes for Rs. A schwa before the R is basically included, no?

"Hallucinosis"

There are a number of missing words relating to hallucinosis.
Based on the existing encoding of hallucinogenic → 𐑣𐑩𐑤𐑵𐑕𐑦𐑯𐑩𐑡𐑧𐑯𐑦𐑒 I would recommend the following:

hallucinate   -> 𐑣𐑩𐑤𐑵𐑕𐑦𐑯𐑱𐑑
hallucinates  -> 𐑣𐑩𐑤𐑵𐑕𐑦𐑯𐑱𐑑𐑕
hallucinating -> 𐑣𐑩𐑤𐑵𐑕𐑦𐑯𐑱𐑑𐑦𐑙 
hallucinative -> 𐑣𐑩𐑤𐑵𐑕𐑦𐑯𐑩𐑑𐑦𐑝
hallucinant   -> 𐑣𐑩𐑤𐑵𐑕𐑦𐑯𐑩𐑯𐑑
hallucinosis  -> 𐑣𐑩𐑤𐑵𐑕𐑦𐑯𐑴𐑕𐑦𐑕
hallucinogen  -> 𐑣𐑩𐑤𐑵𐑕𐑦𐑯𐑩𐑡𐑧𐑯

Collins would agree with the first 𐑦, but Merriam-Webster would substitute 𐑩.

What is the addendum file for?

Just wondering what this file is for exactly? Is it for Brand names and common abbreviations like SMS?

Update shavian.info/spelling/ to include info t vs d

It would be nice if https://www.shavian.info/spelling/ included information on T's that become D in various situations.

Water
Italy (vs Italian)

Flap-t (/d/ instead of /t/) often happens between vowel sounds or after a vowel and before a liquid.

If the T is a flap-t, it is still written with a T letter in Shavian?

The word "shogi" is missing from the tool.

I believe this would be spelled "𐑖𐑴𐑜𐑾", please correct me if I'm mistaken.

‘humph’

I think the transcription of ‘humph’ is incorrect:

humph	𐑣𐑳𐑥𐑐𐑓	ITJ	hʌmpf	0

It probably should be:

humph	𐑣𐑳𐑥𐑓	ITJ	hʌmf	0

Cambridge Pronouncing Dictionary (17th ed.) gives ‘m̥m, hə̃h, hʌmf’ mentioning the falling pitch in an additional note rather than in IPA, and saying that ‘the transcriptions reflect a wide range of possible pronunciations’.

Other dictionaries sometimes have weaker /həmf/ instead or in addition to /hʌmf/ (AHD, Oxford Learner's, Macmillan).
There are some that give /hʌmpf/ (CUBE, M-W). My understanding is that there is some difference between the nasal noise that is difficult to fit into phonemic inventory and the onomatopoeic word derived from it and used to denote that noise (and also as a verb). The former may differ from ‘hmm’ only by the amount of aspiration and pitch contour in some realizations like [m̥m]; the latter may be pronounced with a fricative at the end, and some people even put a labial stop in there. But there is no /p/ in Cambridge.

Lazy is "𐑤𐑱𐑟𐑦"

I was practicing Shavian when I went to look up the word "lazy" in readlex it showed up as "𐑤𐑱𐑟𐑦" instead of "𐑤𐑱𐑟𐑰"

Missing word

Hello! Firstly thank you so much for the lexicon, its an amazing tool!

I've been trying to write a poem in shavian and found that the following word is missing in the lexicon, maybe you'd be interested in adding it: archnemesis.

"nerd"

"nerd" and its derivatives like "nerdy" are missing from the lexicon

No vegans in the ReadLex

“vegan” seems to be missing from the dictionary.

Thanks for this amazing tool!

"again"

"Again" is currently listed as "𐑩𐑜𐑱𐑯". It seems like it should be one of those words that shows multiple pronunciations.

Even in the UK it seems as though 𐑩𐑜𐑧𐑯 has become the more common pronunciation.

Why use unidecode, and why only on non-html content?

I was trying to track down a discrepancy between latin2shaw's handling of non-html and html content, "don’t" being transliterated incorrectly as "𐑛𐑵n’t" in an html document, but correctly as "𐑛𐑴𐑯𐑑" on it's own. I realised this is because spacy doesn't understand words with U+2019 "Right single quotation mark" as contractions, but does handle the ASCII apostrophe U+0027 that unidecode converts it to. +1 to using unidecode!

To get latin2shaw to handle these correctly in an html document, I tried feeding the text on the html branch through unidecode too, but ended up with some unintended consequences... Let's take another example: "My name is Ingebjørg 😇". Without unidecode, this comes out nicely as "𐑥𐑲 𐑯𐑱𐑥 𐑦𐑟 Ingebjørg✢ 😇", but with unidecode "𐑥𐑲 𐑯𐑱𐑥 𐑦𐑟 Ingebjorg✢". Oh no... -1 to using unidecode.

I would like to come up with something that solves the problems unidecode does, without introducing its downsides, but I suspect I may be lacking the information to do this well, so I am here asking for more info. Hence:

1. What was the original reason to introduce unidecode? Are there issues it solves other than this right single quotation and apostrophe issue I stumbled on?

2. Is there a reason it isn't used in the html branch of latin2shaw? It seems to me that any issues it addresses ought to be addressed in both branches.

Triage

The word 'triage' seems to be missing from the dictionary. Suggest 𐑑𐑮𐑦𐑭𐑠?

Recommended addition: "hobbyist"

I encountered this word while writing my editorial for the April issue for Shaw-Script, and found that it was not in the ReadLex.

I believe the Shavian and IPA would be:

𐑣𐑪𐑚𐑦𐑦𐑕𐑑, hɒbiɪst

“drawer”

draw	𐑛𐑮𐑷	VVI	drɔː	4109
drawer	𐑛𐑮𐑹

i think there might need to be a word for a person that draws. 𐑛𐑮𐑷𐑼?

Add Emmett

It's literally my middle name and variations of it have been used as the names of famous people. It's also the old English word for an ant. I was rather surprised that it didn't at last try to covert it phonetically.

Add the word "amphibia"

Is the name for the amphibian clade of the animal kingdom. Also the name of a cartoon.

I'd do it myself and open a PR, but my only internet enabled device is my phone, and there isn't a usable Shavian keyboard for my version of android, at least not one that I'd be comfortable with using.

4 names

I didn't get a translation for these names.
Here's my first attempt from sounding them out with the chart.

Shannon ·𐑖𐑨𐑯𐑪𐑯
Shelby ·𐑖𐑧𐑤𐑚𐑰
Quinton ·𐑒𐑵𐑾𐑯𐑑𐑪𐑯
Tyson ·𐑑𐑲𐑕𐑳𐑯

Strange heteronym

When transcribing this:

John: No, father.

I get the heteronym "number" <-> "no, father", which doesn't make any sense.

·𐑡𐑪𐑯: 𐑯𐑳𐑥𐑚𐑼⬌𐑯𐑴, 𐑓𐑭𐑞𐑼.

Funnily, its not reproducible if you discard John:

No, father. -> 𐑯𐑴, 𐑓𐑭𐑞𐑼.

It can be reproduced with another proper name
Mr Fisher: No, father. -> ·𐑥𐑼 𐑓𐑦𐑖𐑼: 𐑯𐑳𐑥𐑚𐑼⬌𐑯𐑴, 𐑓𐑭𐑞𐑼.

But not with a non proper word
answers: no, father -> 𐑭𐑯𐑕𐑼𐑟: 𐑯𐑴, 𐑓𐑭𐑞𐑼.
the boy: no, father -> 𐑞 𐑚𐑶: 𐑯𐑴, 𐑓𐑭𐑞𐑼.

I also get the same phenomenon if I replace father with mother:
John: No, mother -> ·𐑡𐑪𐑯: 𐑯𐑳𐑥𐑚𐑼⬌𐑯𐑴, 𐑥𐑳𐑞𐑼.

Schedule

It's certainly one of these words for which multiple Shavian spellings need to be accepted, but if I understand the 3rd rule of the spelling principles—“Choose the RP pronunciation closest to General American”—it appears that the ReadLex spelling of schedule and related words should use 𐑕𐑒- rather than 𐑖-. Of course, it depends on how exactly you define RP and GA, so I might be wrong.
There is also a discrepancy in treatment of // j // where scheduled is currently 𐑖𐑧𐑡𐑵𐑤𐑛 but unscheduled is 𐑳𐑯𐑖𐑧𐑛𐑿𐑤𐑛. The web interface also gives 𐑳𐑯𐑖𐑧𐑛𐑵𐑤𐑛 as supposedly GA which seems completely wrong as well.

issue with "have to" causing duplication errors when converting from Latin to Shavian

Input of Latin "you have to" results in "𐑿 𐑣𐑨𐑝𐑨𐑓 𐑣𐑨𐑝 𐑑"

Input of Latin "I can't believe apples have to do this" results in "𐑲 𐑒𐑭𐑯𐑑 𐑚𐑦𐑤𐑰𐑝 𐑨𐑐𐑩𐑤𐑟 𐑣𐑨𐑝𐑨𐑓 𐑒𐑭𐑯𐑑 𐑚𐑦𐑤𐑰𐑝 𐑨𐑐𐑩𐑤𐑟 𐑣𐑨𐑝 𐑑 𐑛𐑵 𐑞𐑦𐑕"

Inputting "have" outside of "have to," for instance "I have an apple to eat," doesn't make unexpected results.

Banshee

According to Cambridge, both UK and US stress Banshee on the first syllable.

For that reason, I believe this word should be spelled 𐑚𐑨𐑯𐑖𐑦 instead of 𐑚𐑨𐑯𐑖𐑰

Add word: carabiner/karabiner

I would spell it 𐑒𐑨𐑮𐑩𐑚𐑰𐑯𐑼 in my dialect.

The Wikipedia page says /ˌkærəˈbiːnər/.

word "appropriate" failed to convert

With input "I will use my favorite contraction when appropriate", the converter output "𐑲 𐑢𐑦𐑤 𐑿𐑟 𐑥𐑲 𐑓𐑱𐑝𐑼𐑦𐑑 𐑒𐑩𐑯𐑑𐑮𐑨𐑒𐑖𐑩𐑯 𐑢𐑧𐑯 appropriate." Assuming that the converter couldn't decide between multiple pronunciations in this case, I would expect it to render both options separated by a | , as described on the output page.

want and wont

The dictionary doesn't have a word for wont, meaning "accustomed to". Or if it does, then the pronunciation seems to be incorrect.

For me, these are my pronunciations:

• want (desire) = 𐑢𐑳𐑯𐑑
• wont (accustomed) = 𐑢𐑪𐑯𐑑
• won't (will not) = 𐑢𐑴𐑯𐑑

Am I missing something here?

Issue - double punctuation between words (em-dash usage)

The issue arises when an em-dash is used between 2 words, and where there are other punctuation marks adjacent to the em-dash. i.e. where the first part before the em-dash is exclaimed or is a question etc.

Merriam-Webter does have examples showing this particular usage of the em-dash here
https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/em-dash-en-dash-how-to-use

Here is an "OK" sample, where the em-dash is the only character (no other adjacent punctuation):

Within its first year, Mabel and Harry had sampled all of the bakery’s offerings—all 62 items—and had also decided that the exercise was worth repeating.

Here is a particular bad sample from Alice:

She waited for some time without hearing anything more: at last came a rumbling of little cartwheels, and the sound of a good many voices all talking together: she made out the words: “Where’s the other ladder?—Why, I hadn’t to bring but one; Bill’s got the other—Bill! fetch it here, lad!—Here, put ’em up at this corner—No, tie ’em together first—they don’t reach half high enough yet—Oh! they’ll do well enough; don’t be particular—Here, Bill! catch hold of this rope—Will the roof bear?—Mind that loose slate—Oh, it’s coming down! Heads below!” (a loud crash)—“Now, who did that?—It was Bill, I fancy—Who’s to go down the chimney?—Nay, I shan’t! You do it!—That I won’t, then!—Bill’s to go down—Here, Bill! the master says you’re to go down the chimney!”

Missing Word

The missing word is queue, queued, queuing.

I suggest the spelling 𐑒𐑿, 𐑒𐑿𐑛, 𐑒𐑿𐑦𐑙 respectively. Albeit the 'if' may be dropped.

𐑐𐑤𐑱𐑡𐑽𐑦𐑟𐑩𐑥 → 𐑐𐑤𐑱𐑡𐑼𐑦𐑟𐑩𐑥

It seems that plagiarism & plagiarist should be spelt with 𐑼 rather than the etymologically motivated 𐑽, just like the related verb plagiarise/plagiarize and its forms.
OED shows an optional /(ɪ)/ in parens for RP; Cambridge has the pronunciation with /-dʒi.ə.rɪ-/ (US /-dʒi.ɚ-/), but listed secondary to the one with /-dʒ^ər.ɪ-/ (US /-dʒɚ.ɪ-/). M-W lists it as "also -jē-ə-" giving preference to plain "-jə-ˌri-". Other sources don't even consider any other possibility than /-dʒərɪ-/ which seems to be more common pronunciation across the board (idk about Australian, though). All the sources I checked transcribe the stems of the -ism & -ist nouns identically to the related verb.

So it looks that it should be:

Latn	Shaw	POS	IPA
plagiarism	𐑐𐑤𐑱𐑡𐑼𐑦𐑟𐑩𐑥	NN1	ˈpleɪdʒərɪzəm
plagiarisms	𐑐𐑤𐑱𐑡𐑼𐑦𐑟𐑩𐑥𐑟	NN2	ˈpleɪdʒərɪzəmz
plagiarist	𐑐𐑤𐑱𐑡𐑼𐑦𐑕𐑑	NN1	ˈpleɪdʒərɪst
plagiarists	𐑐𐑤𐑱𐑡𐑼𐑦𐑕𐑑𐑕	NN2	ˈpleɪdʒərɪsts

advent

In GA accent, it doesn't use "ago", it uses "edge". I also noticed that in the CUBE dictionary (modern british?), it uses "edge" as well. http://cube.elte.hu/index.pl?s=advent&t=&syllcount=&maxout=&wfreq=0-9&grammar=

Using of 𐑼 in 'library' 𐑤𐑲𐑚𐑮𐑼𐑦 and 'dictionary' 𐑛𐑦𐑒𐑖𐑩𐑯𐑼𐑦

Its using totally corresponds with the pronunciation, but I find it unnatural to use 𐑼 here.
The word naturally splits into syllables, in this case 'laɪ-brə-ri' and 'dɪk-ʃə-nə-ri'. When we spell word like 𐑤𐑲𐑚𐑮𐑼𐑦 instead of 𐑤𐑲𐑚𐑮𐑩𐑮𐑦 and 𐑛𐑦𐑒𐑖𐑩𐑯𐑼𐑦 instead of 𐑛𐑦𐑒𐑖𐑩𐑯𐑩𐑮𐑦, it breaks this logic and we cannot split the word up into syllables anymore, because they are now merged together in this letter.

The similar issue is already mentioned in an 'affix rule', but I suggest it to be extended to 'syllable rule'.

I suspect that it would require much effort to fix and it likely affects much more words than these two (and other compound letters). And maybe it's the matter of taste, so I just raise a question to discuss.

Sentences?

I saw a video on Shavian and Was looking into it and found this service; I was trying to test the phrase 'Hello world' and it returned an error. Is there a plan for sentences in the future?

add Hanukkah

There are multiple spellings and a few pronunciations of course. But it's better to have something rather than nothing probably.

𐑣𐑭𐑯𐑩𐑒𐑩
𐑣𐑭𐑯𐑫𐑒𐑩

Why was the spelling of "july" changed?

July has been changed from 𐑡𐑫𐑤𐑲 to 𐑡𐑵𐑤𐑲

Pronouncing this word as "jooly" seems to strangely stress the first syllable whereas I have always heard the (albeit small) stress on the last syllable. And I have never heard a dialect that pronounces the "oo" sound so clearly in the first syllable, but I am open to hearing such a pronunciation in regular speech. Perhaps I've heard it said that way in a joking manner when trying to be very clear.

Given this change below:

“Together, today” etc., are spelt with 𐑑𐑩-

I would have assumed that July would be either 𐑡𐑫𐑤𐑲 or even 𐑡𐑩𐑤𐑲

Names only partly converted

I've tested this on my artist name Ed Ruskin which successfully converted the first part, but left out the second:

Is there a process in place for others to suggest/request changes?

Maybe it is as simple as opening a Pull Request and discussing in the comments of the pull request?

If so, which files need to be changed? Which is the "master" file, the .dict files or the .tsv file?
