Download nightly / CI/CD installation packages for testing (contains the core zhfst file(s)):

NB!! Note that the nightly / CI/CD installation packages are not tested for language quality, and might contain regressions and errors.

Central Alaskan Yup'ik (CAY) (ISO 639-3: esu) is a member of the Inuit-Yupik-Unangan (IYU) (also known as Eskimo-Aleut) language family. It is spoken in south-west Alaska among the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta and Bristol Bay areas.

This CAY morphological analyzer/generator cananalyze (break the word into its individual parts) andgenerate (build a word from its individual parts) Yup'ik words. The underlying form is composed of morphemes represented by the analysis of Jacobson's (1984/1995/2012)dictionary and grammar book. It is build using the open sourceHFST tools. This project was developed withhfst 3.15.2.

The speller files downloadable at the top of this page (the*.bhfst files) canbe used withdivvunspell, to test theirperformance. These files are the exact same ones as installed on users' computersand mobile phones. Desktop and mobile speller files differ from each other in theerror model and should be tested separately — thus also two different downloads.

1. lexc -esu.lexc - lexicon and morphotactics
2. xfst -esu.lexc.xfst - orthography → phonemes, morphologically conditioned allomorphy
3. twolc -esu.twol - morphophonology, phonologically conditioned allomorphy
4. twolc -esu.stress.twol - prosodic stress marking on vowels used for prosodic adjustments
5. xfst -esu.twol.xfst - prosodic adjustments, phonemes → orthography

1. Install dependency:HFST tools. Tested withhfst 3.15.2.
   Note: MacOS users may have an easier time installing HFST with thisHomebrew tap.

2. Runmake to run the Makefile and compile the FST stack

• esu.ana.hfstol: Morphological analyser

  • Input:calinrituq
  • Output:cali-–nrite[V→V][V][Intr][Ind][S_3Sg]

• esu.gen.hfstol: Morphological generator

  • Input:cali-–nrite[V→V][V][Intr][Ind][S_3Sg]
  • Output:calinrituq

• esu.seg.hfstol: Morphological segmenter

  • Input:calinrituq
  • Output:cali>nrit>uq

In the unix terminal, run this command to use the HFST lookup program:

echo "wordToInput" | hfst-optimized-lookup hfstName

wherewordToInput is the Yup'ik word to analyze/generate and thehfstName is either:esu.ana.hfstol | esu.gen.hfstol | esu.seg.hfstol.
