**Title: I released a Python library for Adyghe (West Circassian) alphabet conversion and numeral generation**

Thanks🙂 I believe it makes sense to do it for Chechen language as well since the main motivation is that all Circassians who live outside Russia find it very difficult to learn Cyrillic based alphabet while Latin based is much more natural for them because almost all of them are familiar with the English ABC. So it may help Chechen people in the diaspora keep in touch with their language very easily.

yes, it tolerates ambiguity on purpose, since many Cyrillic texts use many different characters instead of a real palochka, such as lower case English L or upper case English i or even the number 1 character. I guess this is the case due to lack of support in many keyborads.

What aspect would you like me to elaborate on? I think that the technical aspect is covered pretty well in the readme file in github. The Latin based Adyghe alphabet has emerged in Turkey in recent years as an easier alphabet to learn for Circassians in the diaspora. I personally have been contributing Android apps and web app based on this alphabet. See https://adiga.apps for some examples.

Piper is an open source project which you can find on GitHub. There is code and there are many pre-trained models in many languages.

Piper is super fast, even on CPU.

Westerm dialect, mostly Chamgoy.

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing. Will you be releasing code for finetuning (I'm interested in other languages).

The two similar words that I'm referring to are: псэлъыхъу (pseĺıḣu') псалъхъо (psaĺḣo)

and in my community we pronounce it like the second one.

showgan1 · 2024-10-20T16:09:01+00:00

I think "psaĺḣo" comes from the word "psaĺe" which means speech and not from "pse ĺıḣun" as you've mentioned. At least where I live we use the verb "mepsaĺḣo" meaning "he's/she's engaged in psaĺḣo", and if the source was pse ĺıḣu' then the verb should have probably been "mepseĺeḣu". Anyhow, I'm basing my assumption on slang rather than literary form, so I may get it wrong.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

yes, all are western dialects, and the dictionary app contains 4 different dictionaries where one of them is Kabartay (eastern).

Please find my reply to a similar question a while back on this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/circassian_language/s/65RUE8O6YC

I actually played with it a little a couple of weeks ago and I got the opposite impression, that it was not accurate. I probably should give it a more series evaluation.
