Lingua::FI::Transcribe Description

Lingua::FI::Transcribe is a Finnish transcription. Lingua::FI::Transcribe is a Finnish transcription.SYNOPIS use Lingua::FI::Transcribe; print Lingua::FI::Transcribe->English("sauna"), "n"; print Lingua::FI::Transcribe->English("sisu"), "n"; print Lingua::FI::Transcribe->English("olut"), "n"; print Lingua::FI::Transcribe->English("jarkko hietaniemi"), "n"; # The results being sow-nah see-soo aw-loot yahrrk-kaw hheeeh-tah-neeeh-meeWith this module you can get a rough approximation of Finnish pronunciation by transcribing Finnish into something (awful mess, usually) that sounds somewhat similar to Finnish if read aloud (with a straight face). In addition to transcribing the sounds the module also hyphenates the word so that you get more hints as to the correct rhytm. (The stress is always on the first syllable.)However, currently only transcription into English is implemented. Contributions from speakers of other languages gladly accepted.One more time: the approximation is very rough. I disclaim any responsibility if after ordering a beer in a Finnish pub the bartender looks at you funny and hands you an umbrella.About the English transcriptionNote that the transcription of Finnish to "English" is very rough: it is basically a very simple substitution of one or more letters of Finnish to one or more letters of "English". The highly irregular pronunciation of English doesn't help things. The vowels are the hardest part to right. In principle the basic vowels a e i o uare simple: just use the simple vowel sounds you can find in the English words pun pet pit pot putbut consider how "pun" and "put" have different vowels, and when Finnish diphthongs like "au" are introduced, the above simple rule breaks down horribly. (That particular Finnish diphthong is pronounced like the English "ow" in "how", in case your are wondering.) Requirements: · Perl
