# Kaamel-Dict: A Comprehensive Persian G2P Dictionary
Kaamel-Dict is the largest publicly available Persian grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) dictionary, containing over 116,600 entries.
It was developed by unifying multiple phonetic representation systems from existing G2P tools

[[2](https://github.com/AzamRabiee/Persian\_G2P)]
[[3](https://github.com/PasaOpasen/PersianG2P)]

and an additional online glossary

, called Jame` Dictionary, . This dictionary is released under the GNU license, allowing it to be used for
developing G2P models, Persian text-to-speech (TTS) systems, or linguistic research.

## Column Descriptions
The dataset contains the following columns:
- **grapheme**: Persian written form of the word.
- **phoneme**: List of pronunciations of the word. Each item in the list is a tuple of phonemes corresponding to a specific pronunciation.
- **nodiff**: For some words with multiple pronunciations, this column is marked as `True` if all pronunciations are equivalent and can be used interchangeably. For example, `/AsemAn/` and `/AsmAn/` are both valid pronunciations for the word `آسمان`.
- **POS**: For some words with multiple pronunciations, each pronunciation is labeled with the part of speech (POS) it takes in a sentence. For example, for the word `مرد`, the pronunciation `/mard/` is always a **NOUN**, while `/mord/` is always a **VERB**. The following POS values are used in this dictionary:
- **ADP**: Adposition (preposition or postposition), **ADV**: Adverb, **DET**: Determiner, **NUM**: Numeral, **N,EZ**: Noun with Ezafe (e.g., خانهی من), **PRON**: Pronoun, **VERB**: Verb, **SCONJ**: Subordinating conjunction, **NOUN**: Noun, **ADJ**: Adjective
- **prob**: For some words with multiple pronunciations, this column provides a relative probability (based on native speaker intuition) for each pronunciation. For example, the word `در` is pronounced as `/dorr/` very rarely (in old literature) and as `/dar/` much more commonly (as a preposition). This column indicates the relative likelihood of each pronunciation.
