# myG2P Myanmar (Burmese) Language Grapheme to Phoneme (myG2P) Conversion Dictionary for speech recognition (ASR) and speech synthesis (TTS). --> [README in Myanmar Language](https://github.com/ye-kyaw-thu/myG2P/blob/master/README-Myanmar.md) ## Lincense Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-Share Alike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) License [Details Info of License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/) Contact email: wasedakuma[at]gmail.com ## Introduction We developed this myG2P (Myanmar Grapheme-to-Phoneme) dictionary for [VoiceTra](http://voicetra.nict.go.jp/en/index.html) (Multilingual Speech Translation Application) Myanmar language project of [NICT](http://www.nict.go.jp/en/), Japan (during 2014-2015). We mainly used MLC (Myanmar Language Commission) dictionary words. Please cite the [ICCA 2015 paper](https://github.com/ye-kyaw-thu/myG2P/blob/master/reference/g2p-revised-ICCA2015.pdf) and/or [COLING 2016 paper](https://github.com/ye-kyaw-thu/myG2P/blob/master/reference/G2P4Myanmar_WSSANLP_COLING2016.pdf), if you use myG2P dictionary. Please cite [PACLING 2015 paper](https://github.com/ye-kyaw-thu/myG2P/blob/master/reference/G2P4Myanmar_WSSANLP_COLING2016.pdf), if you are talking about sentence level grapheme-to-phoneme conversion of Myanmar language. ## Grapheme to Phoneme Mapping The Myanmar Language Commission (MLC) Pronunciation Dictionary can be used as a basis for pronunciation mapping. We found it necessary to extend the dictionary with foreign pronunciations. In the proposed mapping table there are 23 phonetic symbols for 33 consonants (some consonants share the same pronunciation, for example, “”, “”, “” and “” in Table1), 87 vowels combinations and 20 special symbols for foreign word pronunciations. Characters are grouped according to their pronunciation; the groups are unaspirated, aspirated, voiced and nasal and are shown in Table 1. Many Myanmar syllables containing unaspirated and aspirated consonants are pronounced as voiced consonants depending on the neighboring context. Some foreign pronunciations have to be expressed by special vowel combinations because Myanmar pronunciations do not include some pronunciations. See Table 3. MLC dictionary was extended by defining 26 more symbols to include phoneme mappings for foreign words for example, the Myanmar phonetic representation of the foreign name “Alex” “()” is e:le’S (here, S is for ()) and “Swift” “()()” is hswi’HPHT (here, HP is for () and HT is for ()).

Table 1: Groups of Myanmar consonants and their pronunciations

### Contextually Independent Pronunciation This section explains how the pronunciation of Myanmar syllables is normally derived from orthographic structure. Myanmar syllables are generally composed of consonants and (zero or more) vowel combinations starting with a consonant. Here, vowel combinations can be a single vowel, sequences of vowels starting with a consonant that modifies the pronunciation of the first vowel. The pronunciations of consonants when they are combined with vowels are shown in Table 2.

Table 2: Examples of vowel combinations and their pronunciations

### Contextually Dependent Pronunciations Some Myanmar syllables do not conform to these standard rules of pronunciation. The pronunciation of the syllables can depend on the context of syllables. Differences between standard pronunciations and correct pronunciations of some words are shown in Table 3 as examples.
