Past projects
- Creating a noun declension template for the Maliseet-Passamaquoddy language — It is currently used in at least 92 entries and has been translated into Japanese, by another user.
- Providing IPA for Maliseet words. See #Notes for some explanations. I plan to create a module for this in the future. Resources:
- Passamaquoddy-Maliseet language portal
- LeSourd, Philip S. (1993) Accent and Syllable Structure in Passamaquoddy, New York: Garland Publishing

What I’m working on
- Implementing modules and templates for the Cherokee language.
- IPA for the Oklahoma variety — Tones, vowel length, final /h, ʔ/ and standalone consonants (with the exception of s) don’t have distinct representations in the Cherokee syllabary. This means it is not possible to create an automatic IPA generation module for this language (unlike Greenlandic, for native words), and we would require a parameter accepting some sort of phonemic transliteration of Cherokee words. Furthermore, there is a lot of variation even within the Oklahoma variety and we need to standardise the IPA symbols used.
- Template for conjugations, with the following verb forms:
- 1st person present, 3rd person past, 3rd person present habitual, 2nd person imperative, 3rd person infinitive.
