We update Hunspell regularly. The latest update includes additional headword forms (including ‘actiwari’, ‘biodreulio’ a ‘seiberfwlio’), and also includes 98 additional international placenames (such as ‘Irac’). This version also deals with clitics more effectively.
Spoken Welsh Hunspell
This version of Hunspell, which is distinct from the above version, has been specially tailored to the needs of the transcribers who contribute to Bangor University Language Technology Unit’s transcription bank. It contains a number of spoken forms which comply with the verbatim transcription conventions of that project (see Bangor Transcription Conventions for more details). It contains a number of spoken forms such as ch’mod, rwbath, sicir and gweud.
