Enriching KurdishHunspell with MyMemory

[sinaahmadi]

@dolanskurd gyan,

Thanks for your nice work.

I was wondering if you would like to bring your project and the Kurdish Hunspell project together. To do so, we need to enrich the current dictionary of the Hunspell Sorani Kurdish spell checker. In addition to entries, part-of-speech tags are required.

Here are some points to do so:

• A list of Sorani Kurdish words is required. In my implementation, I have preferred standard vs. dialect distinction in the implementation. This is not always the case in Kurdish dictionaries which tend to provide the vocabulary of all dialects as Kurdish without further distinction.
• Finding the part-of-speech tags can be done semi-automatically by following a few rules and also, checking the pos tag of the translation.

Please let me know if any further clarification is required.

Thanks :-)

Currently I am working on a project for Kurdish language and a small part of it, is a little bit close to those details you talked about. I will check and if there were no conflicts, I will definitely do my best to work on your recommendation.

Thank you and I will ask for your help when needed for adding this project.

Thanks again Kak Sina gyan.

Sounds great. Extracting Kurdish entries and their translations from your dictionaries would be the best step to start.

Keep me posted ;-)
