Algorithm
The "Kölner Phonetik" transliterates every character of a word to a numeric code between "0" und "8", considering at most one adjacent character as context. Some rules apply especially to the beginning of a word (initial sound). This way similar phonems get mapped to the same numeric code. For example the caracters "W" and "V" are both transliterated to "3". The phonetic code of "Wikipedia" is "3412". In contrast to the "Soundex-Code" the length of the "Kölner Phonetik Index" is not restricted.
Character | Context | Code |
---|---|---|
A, E, I, J, O, U, Y | 0 | |
H | - | |
B | 1 | |
P | not before H | 1 |
D, T | not before C, S, Z | 2 |
F, V, W | 3 | |
P | before H | 3 |
G, K, Q | 4 | |
C | initial sound before A, H, K, L, O, Q, R, U, X | 4 |
C | before A, H, K, O, Q, U, X but not after S, Z | 4 |
X | not after C, K, Q | 48 |
L | 5 | |
M, N | 6 | |
R | 7 | |
S, Z | 8 | |
C | after S, Z | 8 |
C | initial sound but not before A, H, K, L, O, Q, R, U, X | 8 |
C | not before A, H, K, O, Q, U, X | 8 |
D, T | before C, S, Z | 8 |
X | after C, K, Q | 8 |
The fact that "SC" has priority before "CH" is explained in the addition "but not after" on line 10 in the table above. This rule was not explicitly part of the official publication, but can be deduced implicitly from the published examples.
The transliteration happens in 3 steps:
- Transliteration of characters from left to right like described in the table above.
- Removing all duplicate codes.
- Removing of all "0" codes except at the beginning.
