Are sound inventories provided in all individual language grammars? #3

Open LinguList opened 3 years ago

One more idea or thought: Do we have descriptions of the phonology in the form of IPA charts in the original grammars? If so, it would -- in my experience -- not take a lot of time to type them off there and add one more layer of description: the sound inventories, which would be independently provided -- instead of the sound inventories derived from orthoprofiles. This would also be good for checking the data. I am now trying to do that for all SEA datasets where I have both types of info (sounds, lexemes) available, to work on a more serious integration.

@LinguList -- yes and all Dogon languages should be in phoible somewhere or another, e.g.:

https://github.com/phoible/dev/blob/master/raw-data/UW/uw_inventories.tsv#L134-L374

although not released on the website until the next version.
