ONOMASTICA Pronunciation Lexicon

ONOMASTICA is a database containing original data from the Norwegian part of the ONOMASTICA project, a European research project aiming at producing pronunciation lexica of proper names for various 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 partially checked manually by trained phoneticians. The material is transcribed using SAMPA. See the documentation files for details.
