Parsing language names #72

Open rsprouse opened 8 months ago

rsprouse commented 8 months ago

In the Tupian nasal typology input spreadsheet some values for Language contain strings with the language name and ISO 639-3 values, e.g. Araweté [awt], which is parsed as the name and iso_codes values in the .json data format.

Other languages have a third part of the string. What is the intended meaning of the third part and how should it be parsed? Examples: Avá-Canoeiro Goiás [avv-gos] (avá-canoeiro goiás) and Avá-Canoeiro [avv-tct] (avá-canoeiro tocantins).

There are yet other patterns, e.g. Chiriguano (ava dialect), ISO: gui. The name and iso_codes fields should probably be checked and corrected by hand.

The languages that have a third part to the string are languages that require a dialect specification. More generally I agree with the point that there needs to a bunch of hand correction done. What would probably be ideal, actually, is to switch over to glottocodes, and get Harald Hammarstöm to add dialects for us. @mlapier What do you think?

Yes, I agree. This is exactly why we were thinking of switching them all to Glottocodes.
