Syllable segmentation now available for Standard Written Form Cornish
Tags: welsh languageakademi kernewekkernewekPythonnatural language processingcornishstandard written form of Cornish17 Mar 2017 - MawKernewek
I have done some more work on the syllable segmentation module of my taklow-kernewek Python software.
I have added regular expressions to process text in the Standard Written Form of Cornish. These are still under testing and may not correctly process all SWF words.
It looks to me like the SWF specification is not currently available at the Cornish Language Office website, it was accessible via the MAGA website which now redirects to the Cornish Language Office, which doesn't appear to link to the SWF specification PDF.
However it is online here: http://kernowek.net/Specification_Final_Version.pdf and the 2014 revisions are here: https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/media/21486879/swf-review-board-final-report.pdf. The SWF dictionary can be accessed as a PDF (pre-revision spelling) or as a website www.cornishdictionary.org.uk, which will soon be revised by Akademi Kernewek.
Peter Jenkin has recently produced some translations of some Welsh songs into Cornish, in FSS Traditional, which I have used to test my new regular expressions.
As an example, this is the translation of Calon Lân (Colon Lan):
The original text in Welsh is:
Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Colon lan yw leun a dhadder,
Tecca es lili precyous:
Ny yll saw colon lan cana -
Cana'n jydh ha cana'n nos.
1. Ny wovynnav bewnans pur es,
Owr an bys na'y berlys mann:
Govyn a wrav colon attes,
Colon onest, colon lan.
2. Pythow an bys ma, mar mynnen,
Dhe hasen uskis galsa va;
Lanow colon lan yw prest len
A brenvyth prow bynytha.
3. Gorthugher, myttin ow mynnas
A neyj war eskelly can -
Troha Duw, a-barth ow Gwithyas,
A ro dhymmo colon lan.
The output showing the number of syllables in each line is:

The word "Tecca" should probably be written "Tecka" in SWF/T, where it will have 2 syllables.
The long-form output showing syllable details is shown below. The lengths of vowels are either long (written as 2 units here) or short (1) in the Standard Written Form, rather than long being 3, half-long 2 and short 1 as in Kemmyn.

I have added regular expressions to process text in the Standard Written Form of Cornish. These are still under testing and may not correctly process all SWF words.
It looks to me like the SWF specification is not currently available at the Cornish Language Office website, it was accessible via the MAGA website which now redirects to the Cornish Language Office, which doesn't appear to link to the SWF specification PDF.
However it is online here: http://kernowek.net/Specification_Final_Version.pdf and the 2014 revisions are here: https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/media/21486879/swf-review-board-final-report.pdf. The SWF dictionary can be accessed as a PDF (pre-revision spelling) or as a website www.cornishdictionary.org.uk, which will soon be revised by Akademi Kernewek.
Peter Jenkin has recently produced some translations of some Welsh songs into Cornish, in FSS Traditional, which I have used to test my new regular expressions.
As an example, this is the translation of Calon Lân (Colon Lan):
 |
| Counting number of syllables per word and in each line. "Tecca" should be spelt "Tecka" I believe which will be recognised as 2 syllables, "Precyous" is 2 syllables in the output reproduced at the end of this post. This screenshot was taken before 'cy' |
 |
| Full syllable details. The syllable parts have lengths of either 1 (short) or 2 (long) in FSS rather than 1 (short), 2 (half-long vowel / gemminated consonant), 3 (long vowel) in Kemmyn. |
The original text in Welsh is:
Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na'r lili dlos:
Dim ond calon lân all ganu
Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos.
Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na'i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.
Aur y byd na'i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.
Pe dymunwn olud bydol,
Hedyn buan ganddo sydd;
Golud calon lân, rinweddol,
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.
Hedyn buan ganddo sydd;
Golud calon lân, rinweddol,
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.
Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Gwyd i'r nef ar adain cân
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân.
with Peter Jenkin's Cornish translation:Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân.
Colon lan yw leun a dhadder,

3. Gorthugher, myttin ow mynnas

The word "Tecca" should probably be written "Tecka" in SWF/T, where it will have 2 syllables.
The long-form output showing syllable details is shown below. The lengths of vowels are either long (written as 2 units here) or short (1) in the Standard Written Form, rather than long being 3, half-long 2 and short 1 as in Kemmyn.
