Dialect groupings can be discovered objectively and automatically by cluster analysis of phonetic transcriptions such as those found in a linguistic atlas.

متن کاملTowards personalised, synthesis-based content in Irish (gaelic) language education
We present a web-based TTS facility, which will eventually provide for the major dialects of Irish. It, along with an ancillary toolkit of language resources, is increasingly being exploited in diverse teaching/learning environments. Further synthesis-based interactive educational platforms are described which are geared to specific learning tasks. These educational applications facilitate a de...
