	8	# Pronunciation rules for isiZulu.

	11	#
	12	# These rules transcribe isiZulu into the phoneme inventory used within the
	13	# NCHLT Speech Corpus (https://sites.google.com/site/nchltspeechcorpus/home).
	14	#
	15	# The rules were tested using the NCHLT-inlang isiZulu pronunciation dictionary
	16	# (http://rma.nwu.ac.za/index.php/resource-catalogue/nchlt-inlang-dictionaries.html).
	17	# They correctly account for all 15,000 entries in the dictionary.
	18	#
	19	# The NCHLT 2013 phone set does not indicate tone in any way. Transcription of
	20	# tone is out of scope without a dictionary, since tone is generally not
	21	# indicated in the orthography. Nasal clicks are not treated as separated
	22	# phonemes in the NCHLT 2013 phone set and are transcribed as a sequence of
	23	# nasal plus click instead.
	24	#
	25	# One minor notational deviation from the NCHLT 2013 phone set is that we use a
	26	# tie bar within the complex (depressor) clicks, e.g. ɡ\u0361ǀ instead of ɡǀ, to
	27	# avoid ambiguity and make the phoneme inventory uniquely decodable.
