If Uyghur doesn't have a schwa (SAMPA @
), then just leave it out of your allophones.ug.xml
file.
Regarding the question why the schwa symbol appears in the Turkish allophone definition, I suspect it might have to do with the fact that the canonical SAMPA symbol 1
might have clashed with the Arpabet-style primary stress symbol 1
that was used in some MaryTTS modules at that time.
@psibre actully my language includes all of the phones of Turkish and other external 3 phones. So I keep the @ as it is. However, I am wondering can I decide ph variables myself, which are totally different from the samba standard? Thanks.
The ph
attributes in the allophone set definition XML should not be "totally different" from the SAMPA notation, which is just a (mostly) ASCII representation for IPA symbols. They are motivated by distinctive features in phonology and ultimately determine various aspects of linguistic processing (such as syllabification) and unit features for the synthesizer.
Hi, I am creating allphones for the Uyghur language, which is very similar to the Turkish language. So I am adapting the Turkish allphones.xml to Uyghur language, however, in Turkish version, I found some characters like @ is very different from the definition of official samba and samba Turkish. Should not we follow the definition of the official samba document? Thanks.
