# Phoneme-UD: A Multilingual Phonemized Universal Dependencies Corpus for 34+ Languages




## G2P+ Phonemizer

We use G2P+ to phonemize Universal Dependencies. Here is an example usage: 


```
# Install required packages
!apt-get install -y espeak-ng
!pip install phonemizer g2p-plus
# Set the environment variable from Python
import os
os.environ["PHONEMIZER_ESPEAK_LIBRARY"] = "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libespeak-ng.so.1"

# Now run your transcription
from g2p_plus import transcribe_utterances

lines = ['hello there!', 'nice to meet you.']
phonemized = transcribe_utterances(lines, "phonemizer", "en-gb", keep_word_boundaries=True)
print(phonemized)
```
