Arabic-Latin Orthographic Transducer of Hunza Burushaski

The Burushaski language has no consensus orthography, and literacy is low. We aim to create a transducer between two proposed orthographies which are good candidates for uptake by the Burushaski speaker community. The Latin orthography was proposed by Dr. Sadaf Munshi, curator of the North Texas University Burushaski Language Corpus. [1] This orthography is used in all of her transcriptions. The Arabic orthography was proposed by Rehmat Aziz Chitrali, a linguist and researcher at Khowar Academy Chitral in Pakistan. He released a keyboard layout for PC and Mac on GitHub, [2] which we have implemented for Linux. [3]
