The PH folder contains phonological inventory data (phonemes, allophones, and tones) drawn from journal articles, theses, and published grammars. Collectively, they represent a convenience sample of languages and they were selected to improve worldwide coverage of the aggregated phoible data. Their source is tagged ph in the aggregated phoible.csv file.
The inventory data in phoible_inventories.tsv were added by members of the Linguistic Phonetics Laboratory at the University of Washington. The contents are described in:
Moran, Steven. (2012). Phonetics Information Base and Lexicon. PhD thesis, University of Washington. Online: https://digital.lib.washington.edu/researchworks/handle/1773/22452.
The inventory data in gm-afr-inventories.tsv and gm-sea-inventories.tsv contain data from African and Southeast Asian languages collected and edited by Christopher Green and Steven Moran.
The inventory data in UZ_inventories.tsv were added by members of the Department of Comparative Linguistics at the University of Zurich.
All data in PH adhere to the phoible conventions and Unicode IPA. For more information, see the phoible FAQ.
We have also collected for each citation a BibTeX reference, available in the phoible-references.bib file. See the InventoryID-Bibtex.csv mapping file for details.
Note that the ISO 639-3 codes in the PH source may be out of date with the current ISO 639-3 standard. For more info, see: https://iso639-3.sil.org/.
For up-to-date language codes for each inventory, we maintain a phoible index here: InventoryID-LanguageCodes.csv.
