+# This is largely a one-to-one mapping, but it has a
+# few kinks:
+# 1. The Katakana va/vi/ve/vo (30F7-30FA) have no
+# Hiragana equivalents.  We use Hiragana wa/wi/we/wo
+# (308F-3092) with a voicing mark (3099), which is
+# semantically equivalent.  However, this is a non-
+# roundtripping transformation.
+# 2. The Katakana small ka/ke (30F5,30F6) have no
+# Hiragana equiavlents.  We convert them to normal
+# Hiragana ka/ke (304B,3051).  This is a one-way
+# information-losing transformation and precludes
+# round-tripping of 30F5 and 30F6.
+# 3. The combining marks 3099-309C are in the Hiragana
+# block, but they apply to Katakana as well, so we
+# leave them untouched.
+# 4. The Katakana prolonged sound mark 30FC doubles the
+# preceding vowel.  This is a one-way information-
+# losing transformation from Katakana to Hiragana.
+# 5. The Katakana middle dot separates words in foreign
+# expressions; we leave this unmodified.
+# The above points preclude successful round-trip
+# transformations of arbitrary input text.  However,
+# they provide naturalistic results that should conform
+# to user expectations.

+# Transliteration from Latin characters to Korean script is done in
+# two steps: Latin to Jamo, then Jamo to Hangul.  The Jamo-Hangul
+# transliteration is done algorithmically following Unicode 3.0
+# section 3.11.  This file implements the Latin to Jamo
+# transliteration using rules.
+# Jamo occupy the block 1100-11FF.  Within this block there are three
+# groups of characters: initial consonants or choseong (I), medial
+# vowels or jungseong (M), and trailing consonants or jongseong (F).
+# Standard Korean syllables are of the form I+M+F*.
+# Section 3.11 describes the use of 'filler' jamo to convert
+# nonstandard syllables to standard form: the choseong filler 115F and
+# the junseong filler 1160.  In this transliterator, we will not use
+# 115F or 1160.
+# We will, however, insert two 'null' jamo to make foreign words
+# conform to Korean syllable structure.  These are the null initial
+# consonant 110B (IEUNG) and the null vowel 1173 (EU).  In Latin text,
+# we will use the separator in order to disambiguate strings,
+# e.g. "kan-ggan" (initial GG) vs. "kanggan" (final NG + initial G).
+# We will not use all of the characters in the jamo block.  We will
+# only use the 19 initials, 21 medials, and 27 finals possessing a
+# jamo short name as defined in section 4.4 of the Unicode book.
+# Rules of thumb.  These guidelines provide the basic framework
+# for the rules.  They are phrased in terms of Latin-Jamo transliteration.
+# The Jamo-Latin rules derive from these, since the Jamo-Latin rules are
+# just context-free transliteration of jamo to corresponding short names,
+# with the addition of separators to maintain round-trip integrity
+# in the context of the Latin-Jamo rules.
+# A sequence of vowels:
+# - Take the longest sequence you can. If there are too many, or you don't
+#   have a starting consonant, introduce a 110B necessary.
+# A sequence of consonants.
+# - First join the double consonants: G + G -→ GG
+# - In the remaining list,
+# -- If there is no preceding vowel, take the first consonant, and insert EU
+#    after it. Continue with the rest of the consonants.
+# -- If there is one consonant, attach to the following vowel
+# -- If there are two consonants and a following vowel, attach one to the
+#    preceeding vowel, and one to the following vowel.
+# -- If there are more than two consonants, join the first two together if you
+#    can: L + G =→ LG
+# -- If you still end up with more than 2 consonants, insert EU after the
+#    first one, and continue with the rest of the consonants.

+# Jamo-Latin
+#
+# Jamo to latin is relatively simple, since it is the latin that is
+# ambiguous.  Most rules are straightforward, and we encode them below
+# as simple add-on back rule, e.g.:
+#   $jamoMedial {bs} → $BS;
+# becomes
+#   $jamoMedial {bs} ↔ $BS;
+#
+# Furthermore, we don't care about the ordering for Jamo-Latin because
+# we are going from single characters, so we can very easily piggyback
+# on the Latin-Jamo.
+#
+# The main issue with Jamo-Latin is when to insert separators.
+# Separators are inserted to obtain correct round trip behavior.  For
+# example, the sequence Ki A Gf Gi E, if transliterated to "kagge",
+# would then round trip to Ki A GGi E.  To prevent this, we insert a
+# separator: "kag-ge".  IMPORTANT: The need for separators depends
+# very specifically on the behavior of the Latin-Jamo rules.  A change
+# in the Latin-Jamo behavior can completely change the way the
+# separator insertion must be done.
+# First try to preserve actual separators in the jamo text by doubling
+# them.  This fixes problems like:
+# (Di)(A)(Ji)(U)(NG)-(IEUNG)(YEO)(Nf)(Gi)(YEO)(L) =→ dajung-yeongyeol
+# =→ (Di)(A)(Ji)(U)(NG)(IEUNG)(YEO)(Nf)(Gi)(YEO)(L).  This is optional
+# -- if we don't care about losing separators in the jamo, we can delete
+# this rule.

+# Triple consonants.  For three consonants "axxx" we insert a

 $sep ← $latinMedialEnd s {} $SSi;
+# For vowels the rule is similar.  If there is a vowel "ae" such that
+# "a" by itself and "e" by itself are vowels, then we want to map A E
+# to "a-e" so as not to round trip to AE.  However, in the text Ki EO
+# IEUNG E we don't need to map to "keo-e".  "keoe" suffices.  For
+# vowels of the form "aei", both "ae" + "i" and "a" + "ei" must be
+# tested.  NOTE: These rules used to have a left context of
+# $latinInitial instead of [^$latinMedial].  The problem with this is
+# sequences where an initial IEUNG is transliterated away:
+#   (IEUNG)(A)(IEUNG)(EO) =→ aeo =→ (IEUNG)(AE)(IEUNG)(O)

+# The BGN/PCGN system for Amharic was designed for use in romanizing
+# names written in Amharic characters. The Roman letters and letter
+# combinations shown as equivalents to the Amharic characters reflect
+# modern Amharic pronunciation. Different consonant characters in three
+# groups are pronounced alike in modern Amharic and are therefore
+# romanized identically for use in geographic names.

+# BGN/PCGN 1962 System
+#
+# This system is a simplified version of the system devised by the PCGN
+# in 1941 and later adopted by the BGN. In 1962 the two organizations
+# agreed to joint adoption of certain changes in the original system,
+# specifically the omission of special rules for the treatment of Greek
+# geographic names of Albanian, Bulgarian, Italian, Macedonian, and
+# Turkish origin. That revision eliminated the need to consider the
+# origin of names and removed ambiguity from the romanization of Greek
+# expressions of possible non-Greek origin. This system is based on
+# the pronunciation of modern Greek and is not intended for use in
+# the romanization of classical Greek.
+#
+# The Greek Alphabet as defined by the BGN (Pages 29-31):

+# This system wad devised by G. M. McCune and E. O. Reischauer, and
+# was originally published in the Transactions of the Korea Branch of
+# the Royal Asiatic Society, Volume XXIX, 1939. It has been used by
+# the BGN since 1943, and was later adopted for use by the PCGN. A
+# main characteristic of this system is the attempt to represent
+# approximate Korean pronunciation, while systematically converting
+# the Hangul characters to corresponding Roman-script letters. Since
+# Korean pronunciation is often inconsistently represented in Hangul,
+# the McCune-Reischauer conversion tables are rather elaborate, and
+# reverse conversion (from Roman script back to Hangul) is not possible.

+# -----
+# According to [1] (page 3), ᱽ can only follow the four ejective
+# consonants ᱵ /pʼ/, ᱡ /cʼ/, ᱫ /tʼ/, and ᱜ /kʼ/; these become
+# ᱵᱽ /b/, ᱫᱽ /d/, ᱡᱽ /d\u0361ʒ/, and ᱜᱽ /ɡ/.  In online texts, however,
+# we have occasionally encountered ᱽ following non-ejective plosives,
+# for example after ᱯ /p/. These might possibly be typos.  Our rules
+# try to be resilient and handle ᱯᱽ as /b/.
+#
+# According to [1] (page 2), U+1C7C PHAARKAA follows the four “glottal”
+# consonants ᱵ /pʼ/, ᱡ /cʼ/, ᱫ /tʼ/, and ᱜ /kʼ/ (these are actually
+# ejective, not glottal).  In online texts, however, we have frequently

+# X-SAMPA guidelines.  This can result in certain ambiguities: For example, the
+# labial-velar nasal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labial-velar_nasal) can be
+# either written as [ŋ\u0361m] or [m\u0361ŋ] in IPA.  However, neither version can be
+# represented unambiguously in X-SAMPA: IPA [ŋ\u0361m] becomes X-SAMPA [N_m], which
+# is also used to represent a hypothetical laminal (_m) velar nasal, IPA [ŋ\u033B];
+# and IPA [m\u0361ŋ] becomes X-SAMPA [m_N], which can also represent a linguolabial
+# (_N) nasal, IPA [m\u033C], which is more appropriately written [n\u033C].  To avoid
+# unintended ambiguities, it may therefore be advisable to write affricates
+# without tie bars.

+# Author: mjansche@google.com (Martin Jansche)
+#
+# These rules transcribe isiXhosa into the phoneme inventory used within the
+# NCHLT Speech Corpus (https://sites.google.com/site/nchltspeechcorpus/home).
+#
+# The rules were tested using the NCHLT-inlang isiXhosa pronunciation dictionary
+# (http://rma.nwu.ac.za/index.php/resource-catalogue/nchlt-inlang-dictionaries.html).
+# They correctly account for 14,999 out of 15,000 entries in the dictionary.
+#
+# The NCHLT 2013 phone set does not distinguish short and long vowels and does
+# not indicate tone in any way. Transcription of tone is out of scope without a
+# dictionary, since tone is generally not indicated in the orthography. Nasal
+# clicks are not treated as separated phonemes in the NCHLT 2013 phone set and
+# are transcribed as a sequence of nasal plus click instead.
+#
+# One minor notational deviation from the NCHLT 2013 phone set is that we use a
+# tie bar within the complex (slack voiced) clicks, e.g. ɡ\u0361ǀ instead of ɡǀ, to
+# avoid ambiguity and make the phoneme inventory uniquely decodable.
