Jede Silbe
Enumerating all of the German language, one syllable at a time. And in Prolog.
One time, I decided to participate in NaNoGenMo (National Novel Generating Month) 2015, an event whose goal is to write code that generates a 50 000 word novel. I decided to generate a text that contains every possible German syllable. For the knowledge base, I used the information provided by T. Alan Hall in Phonologie: Eine Einführung (2000) and my intuition as a native speaker. The syllables are represented in SAMPA, a machine-readable phonetic alphabet.
My result contains 60610 syllables. However, some details of assimilation are not included in the knowledge base: the syllable “penk” will be generated even though the n would be turned into a velar nasal in front of the k.
The code for my syllable generation is available on GitHub.
