This model is fine-tuned on the Tamil dataset from Common Voice 16.1, preprocessed using Epitran for transliterating text into IPA. The 'tam-Taml' code was employed to generate a precise phoneme list, crucial for capturing the nuances of Tamil phonetics:

  • Vowels:

    • Monophthongs:'a', 'aː', 'e', 'eː', 'i', 'iː', 'o', 'oː', 'u', 'uː'
    • Diphthongs: 'aj', 'aʋ'
  • Consonants:

    • Nasals: 'm', 'n̪', 'n', 'ɳ', 'ɲ', 'ŋ'
    • Stops: 'p', 't̪', 'ʈ', 'k',
    • Affricates: 't͡ʃ', 'd͡ʒ'
    • Fricatives: 's', 'ʂ', 'ʃ', 'h'
    • Tap: 'ɾ'
    • Trill: 'r'
    • Approximants: 'ʋ','ɻ', 'j', 'l', 'ɭ'
    • Consonant cluster: 'kʂ'
  • Special Symbols: '்' (denotes the absence of inherent vowel)
