Incorrect <ni> sequences in French MFA model #12

Open mcdowlinguist opened 1 year ago

It appears that all orthographic sequences of "ni" in the French MFA model's dictionary are transcribed as [ɲi] or [ɲ] (depending on whether the "i" corresponds to a semivowel or not). For instance, "niche" is [ɲiʃ] but should be [niʃ]. This is affecting performance in tagging.
