1. Building a prototype Cornish-to-IPA converter

This is an obvious first technical post because you now have a live prototype on kernewek.eu.

Why people would read it:

It addresses a real gap: learners often want pronunciation support, but Cornish has variation across SWF, KK, Late Cornish, Middle Cornish, and teaching traditions.

You could cover:

  • why English has tools like toPhonetics, but Cornish does not
  • why a simple spelling-to-sound converter is not enough
  • dictionary entries versus rule-based guesses
  • why “the” Cornish pronunciation is problematic
  • future ideas: SWF-M, SWF-L, KK, unknown-word highlighting
