**Goal: Make a version of English where every word is only one syllable**

Inputs:

- words by frequency (optimize monosyllabification for more common words)

  inputs/word_frequency.txt

- words with pronunciations and split by syllables (CMU Dict syllablized)

  Note: multiple valid pronunciations for any given word,

  but all American english

Stages:

- `syllablize.ts` → convert CMU dict to JSON mapping of word → IPA split by syllables

- `main.ts` → load IPA syllables and generate new monosyllabic version of all words

- `sonorityGraph.ts` → data structure that helps generate new syllables following sonority sequencing.

- `respellIPA.ts` → convert IPA back into "readable" latin alphabet.

To run code to generate Glish language mapping,

- `ts-node syllablize.ts` to generate outputs/syllablizedIPA.json + syllableGraph + big list of randomly generated syllables

- `ts-node main.ts` to generate outputs/monosyllabic.json & other monosyllabic results

To run UI,

- `cd ui`

- `npm run dev`
