Uyghur IPA Transcriber

This script takes as input a list of Uyghur words in Latin orthography (one word per line) and returns a list of those words and their broad phonemic transcriptions (one word and its transcription per line).

Thus the input:

yéziliq
zeple-
yashliq
a'ile

Returns the output:

yéziliq;jeziliqʰ
zeple-;zɛplɛ-
yashliq;jaʃliq
a'ile;aˀilɛ

The IPA output is largely a one-to-one substitution of graphs or digraphs for their phonemic values, with the exception that aspiration is blocked before consonants. Future versions of this script will take other orthographies (i.e., Uyghur Perso-Arabic script and Uyghur Cyrillic) as input.
