Hi, I am using pronouncing which wraps python-cmudict. I found that the transcription of "African" yields ['AE1 F R AH0 K AH0 N', 'AE1 F R IH0 K AH0 N'], but the version on CMU's Website (0.7b) lists only 'AE1 F R IH0 K AH0 N'.

Which version of CMUDict is being used by python-cmudict and where is it maintained?

Thank you.

The releases page shows the date cmudict was updated, for example:

v0.4.5 Updated cmudict as of 2020-10-01.

And the README says:

CMUdict is a versioned python wrapper package for The CMU Pronouncing Dictionary data files.

Which links to:

That repo is updated more often than the version on CMU's website.
