Does anyone know of a list of minimal pairs for pronunciation, preferably with audio files? So far the best I have found https://european-portuguese.info/minimalpairs but this is specific to European. Most searches return ESL resources for Portuguese speakers.

2Would be very interesting if there is a general and/or programmatic way of finding minimal pairs. – Adam Bittlingmayer Jun 09 '19 at 16:37

@AdamBittlingmayer There is, even here on Linguistics.SE. I'll see if I can find it and mark this as a dupe. – Omar and Lorraine Jun 11 '19 at 07:46

3@wilson: I don't see a generic answer to find minimal pairs for arbitrary languages in the question you quote, only a Turkish specific answer is given there. – Sir Cornflakes Jun 11 '19 at 09:38

@jknappen From what I can see, that script will return the minimal pairs in any corpus you give it, depending on the transcription's grapheme to phoneme relationship. – Omar and Lorraine Jun 11 '19 at 09:48

1@wilson The script only works for languages with near-phonemic orthography. – Sir Cornflakes Jun 11 '19 at 12:19

@jknappen If that's not the case for Portuguese, there may be a way to mechanically convert a word to something like IPA or whatever. I don't know enough to say – Omar and Lorraine Jun 11 '19 at 12:21

Thanks, this is a good idea. I think with the right dataset the results could be very useful. – carosu Jun 12 '19 at 13:54

Are you looking for minimal pairs in any specific dialect? – Ergative Man Jun 19 '19 at 19:13
