Isan Phonetic Dictionary Dataset

Dataset Description

Summary

This dataset is a phonetic dictionary focused on Isan (Northeastern Thai) pronunciations. It is structured to handle linguistic complexities such as:

  1. Phonetic Variations (เสียงแปร): Words that have multiple valid pronunciations without changing the meaning.
  2. Homographs (คำพ้องรูป): Words that are spelled the same but have different pronunciations and meanings depending on the context.

The data is provided in TSV (Tab-Separated Values) format.

Supported Tasks

  • Grapheme-to-Phoneme (G2P): Converting Thai script to phonetic transcriptions (IPA).
  • Dialect Analysis: Studying phonological differences between Standard Thai and Isan.
  • Speech Synthesis (TTS): Providing accurate pronunciation data for Isan dialect synthesis.
