42

43
+ A pure-Python IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) phonetic toolkit:
44
+ phonetic features, distances, natural classes, and conversion between IPA and
45
+ CMU ARPABET, X-SAMPA, Kirshenbaum, and TIMIT notations.
46
+
47
+ - **Zero runtime dependencies** — all phonetic data ships as XML in the package.
48
+ - **Typed** (`py.typed`, mypy-strict clean).
49
+ - **Both a library and a CLI** (`ipakit`).
50
+
51
+ ## Install
52
+
53
+ ```bash
54
+ pip install ipakit
55
+ ```
56
+
57
+ For development (tests, linters, and the X-SAMPA table tooling):
58
+
59
+ ```bash
60
+ pip install -e ".[dev]"
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ ## Quick start (Python)
64
+
65
+ ```python
66
+ import ipakit
67
+
68
+ # Phonetic features and descriptions
69
+ ipakit.describe("p") # 'voiceless bilabial plosive'
70
+ ipakit.features("p") # {'manner': 'plosive', 'place': 'bilabial', ...}
71
+
72
+ # Phonetic distance (0.0 identical … 1.0 maximally different)
73
+ ipakit.distance("p", "b") # 0.043 (differ only in voicing)
74
+ ipakit.nearest_phones("p", n=3) # [('ɸ', 0.005), ('f', 0.008), ('p͡f', 0.008)]
75
+ ipakit.word_similarity("kæt", "kæd") # 0.986
76
+
77
+ # Tokenize / normalize (tie-bar affricates, diphthongs)
78
+ ipakit.tokenize("t͡ʃe͡ɪnd͡ʒ") # ['t͡ʃ', 'e͡ɪ', 'n', 'd͡ʒ']
79
+
80
+ # Validate
81
+ ipakit.validate_ipa("kæt") # [] (valid)
82
+ ipakit.validate_ipa("k4t") # [{'type': 'error', 'code': 'unknown_symbol', ...}]
83
+ ```
84
+
85
+ ### Conversions
86
+
87
+ ```python
88
+ # CMU ARPABET
89
+ ipakit.to_cmu("ˈkæt") # ['K', 'AE1', 'T']
90
+ ipakit.to_ipa(["K", "AE1", "T"]) # 'kˈæt'
91
+
92
+ # X-SAMPA (ASCII)
93
+ ipakit.ipa_to_xsampa("t͡ʃ") # 't_S'
94
+ ipakit.xsampa_to_ipa("t_S") # 't͡ʃ'
95
+
96
+ # Kirshenbaum / TIMIT
97
+ ipakit.to_kirshenbaum("kæt") # 'k&t'
98
+ ipakit.to_timit("kæt") # ['k', 'ae', 't']
99
+
100
+ # Features straight from a non-IPA symbol (list of per-segment dicts)
101
+ ipakit.features_from_xsampa("t_S") # [{'manner': 'affricate', 'place': 'postalveolar', ...}]
102
+ ipakit.features_from_cmu("K") # [{'manner': 'plosive', 'place': 'velar', ...}]
103
+ ```
104
+
105
+ By default converters skip symbols they can't map. Pass `strict=True` to any of
106
+ them to raise `ValueError` on unconvertible input instead:
107
+
108
+ ```python
109
+ ipakit.to_cmu("k4t") # ['K', 'T'] (the '4' is skipped)
110
+ ipakit.to_cmu("k4t", strict=True) # ValueError: Cannot convert to CMU ARPABET: ...
111
+ ```
112
+
113
+ ### Distribution-aware distance
114
+
115
+ `distance()` is the **raw feature metric** — an absolute, inventory-independent
116
+ mean over phonetic features (so `distance("p", "b")` is always `0.043`). Raw
117
+ distances bunch up in a narrow band, which makes fixed thresholds hard to pick.
118
+ `normalized_distance()` renormalizes a raw distance to its **percentile** within
119
+ the bundled IPA inventory's pairwise distribution, spreading values across
120
+ `[0, 1]`:
121
+
122
+ ```python
123
+ ipakit.distance("p", "b") # 0.043 raw feature distance
124
+ ipakit.normalized_distance("p", "b") # 0.155 percentile within bundled IPA
125
+ ipakit.normalized_distance("p", "a") # 0.602
126
+ ipakit.confusability("p", "b") # 0.845 complement of normalized_distance
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ For a model over a chosen reference inventory — percentiles are **relative** to
130
+ it and not comparable across inventories — use `distance_model()`:
131
+
132
+ ```python
133
+ from ipakit import Phoneset
134
+
135
+ eng = ipakit.distance_model(
136
+ Phoneset.from_list(
137
+ ["p", "b", "t", "d", "k", "ɡ", "s", "z", "m", "n", "l", "ɹ", "a", "i", "u"],
138
+ name="english",
139
+ )
140
+ )
141
+ eng.distance("p", "b") # 0.267 percentile within this 15-phone set
142
+ eng.nearest("p", n=3) # [('t', 0.048), ('s', 0.086), ('k', 0.21)]
143
+ eng.word_similarity("kæt", "kæd") # 0.956
144
+ eng.is_similar("kæt", "kæd", threshold=0.8) # True
145
+ ```
146
+
147
+ `distance_model()` also accepts `gamma` (power transform to push dissimilar
148
+ pairs apart), `sub_mode="di"` (delete+insert substitution cost for word
149
+ alignment), and `threshold` / `max_length_ratio` defaults for `is_similar`. The
150
+ raw pairwise matrix ships as `ipakit/data/confusion.json`; per-inventory models
151
+ reuse it and only re-slice the percentile distribution.
152
+
153
+ ## Conventions
154
+
155
+ - **Stress is placed on the vowel** (the syllable nucleus), not the syllable
156
+ onset: `to_ipa(["K", "AE1", "T"])` → `kˈæt`. Syllabification is preserved
157
+ across round trips (`W AO1 T ER0` ↔ `wˈɔtɚ`).
158
+ - **Affricates and diphthongs use the tie bar** (`t͡ʃ`, `e͡ɪ`).
159
+ - **Round-trip guarantee (X-SAMPA only):** IPA written in these conventions
160
+ round-trips through X-SAMPA (`ipa → xsampa → ipa`). The only exceptions are
161
+ `b͡v` and `t͡θ`, where the X-SAMPA tie encoding `_` collides with a
162
+ diacritic/tone encoding (`_v`, `_T`) — an inherent X-SAMPA ambiguity that ICU
163
+ shares. The CMU, TIMIT, and Kirshenbaum mappings are lossy (they collapse IPA
164
+ distinctions) and carry no round-trip guarantee.
165
+
166
+ ## CLI
167
+
168
+ ```text
169
+ ipakit features p # Get features for 'p'
170
+ ipakit describe p # "voiceless bilabial plosive"
171
+ ipakit convert to-cmu "kˈæt" # IPA to CMU: K AE1 T (stress on the vowel)
172
+ ipakit convert to-ipa K AE1 T # CMU to IPA: kˈæt
173
+ ipakit convert to-xsampa "t͡ʃ" # IPA to X-SAMPA: t_S
174
+ ipakit query match plosive bilabial # Find phones by feature
175
+ ipakit analysis natural-class p t k # Shared features of a set
176
+ ipakit analysis minimal-pairs p # Find similar phones
177
+ ipakit distance pair p b # Raw feature distance: ~0.04
178
+ ipakit distance confusability p b # Inventory-relative: 0.8454
179
+ ipakit distance word kæt kæd # Word similarity: 0.9742
180
+ ```
181
+
182
+ The `distance confusability`/`word` commands use the distribution-aware model;
183
+ scope them to a reference inventory with `--phoneset FILE` (one phone per line).
184
+
185
+ Most commands accept `--format json` (or `-j`) for machine-readable output.
186
+ Run `ipakit`, `ipakit <group>`, or append `help`/`-h` anywhere for usage.
187
+
188
+ ## Development
189
+
190
+ ```bash
191
+ pip install -e ".[dev]" # or ".[test]" / ".[lint]" for a lean subset
192
+ pre-commit install # black, ruff, mypy --strict, hygiene hooks
193
+ pytest # unit tests + docstring examples
194
+ ```
195
+
196
+ CI (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) mirrors these on every push/PR across Python
197
+ 3.11–3.13, and validates the committed derived artifacts (the IPA ↔ X-SAMPA
198
+ table and the phone-distance matrix) against their generators in `scripts/`.

27
+
28
+ ## Quick start (Python)
29
+
30
+ ```python
31
+ import ipakit
32
+
33
+ # Phonetic features and descriptions
34
+ ipakit.describe("p") # 'voiceless bilabial plosive'

37
+ # Phonetic distance (0.0 identical … 1.0 maximally different)
38
+ ipakit.distance("p", "b") # 0.043 (differ only in voicing)
39
+ ipakit.nearest_phones("p", n=3) # [('ɸ', 0.005), ('f', 0.008), ('p͡f', 0.008)]

42
+ # Tokenize / normalize (tie-bar affricates, diphthongs)
43

44
+
45
+ # Validate
46
+ ipakit.validate_ipa("kæt") # [] (valid)
47
+ ipakit.validate_ipa("k4t") # [{'type': 'error', 'code': 'unknown_symbol', ...}]
48
+ ```
49
+
50
+ ### Conversions
51
+
52
+ ```python
53
+ # CMU ARPABET
54
+ ipakit.to_cmu("ˈkæt") # ['K', 'AE1', 'T']
55
+ ipakit.to_ipa(["K", "AE1", "T"]) # 'kˈæt'
56
+
57
+ # X-SAMPA (ASCII)
58
+ ipakit.ipa_to_xsampa("t͡ʃ") # 't_S'
59
+ ipakit.xsampa_to_ipa("t_S") # 't͡ʃ'
60
+
61
+ # Kirshenbaum / TIMIT
62
+ ipakit.to_kirshenbaum("kæt") # 'k&t'
63
+ ipakit.to_timit("kæt") # ['k', 'ae', 't']
64
+
65
+ # Features straight from a non-IPA symbol (list of per-segment dicts)
66
+ ipakit.features_from_xsampa("t_S") # [{'manner': 'affricate', 'place': 'postalveolar', ...}]
67
+ ipakit.features_from_cmu("K") # [{'manner': 'plosive', 'place': 'velar', ...}]
68
+ ```
69
+
70
+ By default converters skip symbols they can't map. Pass `strict=True` to any of
71
+ them to raise `ValueError` on unconvertible input instead:
72
+
73
+ ```python
74
+ ipakit.to_cmu("k4t") # ['K', 'T'] (the '4' is skipped)
75
+ ipakit.to_cmu("k4t", strict=True) # ValueError: Cannot convert to CMU ARPABET: ...
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+ ### Distribution-aware distance
79
+
80
+ `distance()` is the **raw feature metric** — an absolute, inventory-independent
81
+ mean over phonetic features (so `distance("p", "b")` is always `0.043`). Raw
82
+ distances bunch up in a narrow band, which makes fixed thresholds hard to pick.
83
+ `normalized_distance()` renormalizes a raw distance to its **percentile** within
84
+ the bundled IPA inventory's pairwise distribution, spreading values across
85
+ `[0, 1]`:
86
+
87
+ ```python
88
+ ipakit.distance("p", "b") # 0.043 raw feature distance
89
+ ipakit.normalized_distance("p", "b") # 0.155 percentile within bundled IPA
90
+ ipakit.normalized_distance("p", "a") # 0.602
91
+ ipakit.confusability("p", "b") # 0.845 complement of normalized_distance
92
+ ```
93
+
94
+ For a model over a chosen reference inventory — percentiles are **relative** to
95
+ it and not comparable across inventories — use `distance_model()`:
96
+
97
+ ```python
98
+ from ipakit import Phoneset
99
+
100
+ eng = ipakit.distance_model(
101
+ Phoneset.from_list(
102
+ ["p", "b", "t", "d", "k", "ɡ", "s", "z", "m", "n", "l", "ɹ", "a", "i", "u"],
103
+ name="english",
104
+ )
105
+ )
106
+ eng.distance("p", "b") # 0.267 percentile within this 15-phone set
107
+ eng.nearest("p", n=3) # [('t', 0.048), ('s', 0.086), ('k', 0.21)]
108
+ eng.word_similarity("kæt", "kæd") # 0.956
109
+ eng.is_similar("kæt", "kæd", threshold=0.8) # True
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ `distance_model()` also accepts `gamma` (power transform to push dissimilar
113
+ pairs apart), `sub_mode="di"` (delete+insert substitution cost for word
114
+ alignment), and `threshold` / `max_length_ratio` defaults for `is_similar`. The
115
+ raw pairwise matrix ships as `ipakit/data/confusion.json`; per-inventory models
116
+ reuse it and only re-slice the percentile distribution.
117
+
118
+ ## Conventions
119
+
120
+ - **Stress is placed on the vowel** (the syllable nucleus), not the syllable
121
+ onset: `to_ipa(["K", "AE1", "T"])` → `kˈæt`. Syllabification is preserved
122
+ across round trips (`W AO1 T ER0` ↔ `wˈɔtɚ`).
123
+ - **Affricates and diphthongs use the tie bar** (`t͡ʃ`, `e͡ɪ`).
124
+ - **Round-trip guarantee (X-SAMPA only):** IPA written in these conventions
125
+ round-trips through X-SAMPA (`ipa → xsampa → ipa`). The only exceptions are
126
+ `b͡v` and `t͡θ`, where the X-SAMPA tie encoding `_` collides with a
127
+ diacritic/tone encoding (`_v`, `_T`) — an inherent X-SAMPA ambiguity that ICU
128
+ shares. The CMU, TIMIT, and Kirshenbaum mappings are lossy (they collapse IPA
129
+ distinctions) and carry no round-trip guarantee.
130
+
131
+ ## CLI
132
+
133
+ ```text
134
+ ipakit features p # Get features for 'p'
135
+ ipakit describe p # "voiceless bilabial plosive"
136
+ ipakit convert to-cmu "kˈæt" # IPA to CMU: K AE1 T (stress on the vowel)
137
+ ipakit convert to-ipa K AE1 T # CMU to IPA: kˈæt
138
+ ipakit convert to-xsampa "t͡ʃ" # IPA to X-SAMPA: t_S
139
+ ipakit query match plosive bilabial # Find phones by feature
140
+ ipakit analysis natural-class p t k # Shared features of a set
141
+ ipakit analysis minimal-pairs p # Find similar phones
142
+ ipakit distance pair p b # Raw feature distance: ~0.04
143
+ ipakit distance confusability p b # Inventory-relative: 0.8454
144
+ ipakit distance word kæt kæd # Word similarity: 0.9742
145
+ ```
146
+
147
+ The `distance confusability`/`word` commands use the distribution-aware model;
148
+ scope them to a reference inventory with `--phoneset FILE` (one phone per line).
149
+
150
+ Most commands accept `--format json` (or `-j`) for machine-readable output.
151
+ Run `ipakit`, `ipakit <group>`, or append `help`/`-h` anywhere for usage.
152
+
153
+ ## Development
154
+
155
+ ```bash
156
+ pip install -e ".[dev]" # or ".[test]" / ".[lint]" for a lean subset
157
+ pre-commit install # black, ruff, mypy --strict, hygiene hooks
158
+ pytest # unit tests + docstring examples
159
+ ```
160
+
161
+ CI (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) mirrors these on every push/PR across Python
162
+ 3.11–3.13, and validates the committed derived artifacts (the IPA ↔ X-SAMPA
163
+ table and the phone-distance matrix) against their generators in `scripts/`.
