Decisions for comparison of the orthography profile.

PhyloStar commented 4 years ago

Yes. I checked against PHOIBLE here. The palato-alveolar one is frequent in South Asian languages.

PhyloStar commented 4 years ago

aṃ should be shown as nasalized ã in orthography. How do we achieve this?

LinguList commented 4 years ago

long nasalized a? You need ã+ipa-lengthmarker

PhyloStar commented 4 years ago

aṃ is present in Sanskrit/Prakrit words that shows nasalized a. Like "water" jalaṁ should be segmented as j a l aṁ.

Converted into IPA as j a l ã

LinguList commented 4 years ago

As I said:

aṁ     ã

does the trick. Orthoprofiles are greedy, so they start from the longest segments.
