ONOMASTICA is originally a database containing data from the Norwegian part of the ONOMASTICA project, a European research project aiming at producing pronunciation lexica of proper names for a range of European languages. The pronunciation data include first names, family names, company names, street names, place names and foreign names. The database contains a total of 556.499 transcribed names. The data was automatically transcribed, but parts of the material was checked manually by trained phoneticians. The material is transcribed using SAMPA.
