		The ONOMASTICA project was a European-wide research initiative within the scope of the Linguistic Research and Engineering Programme, the aim of which was the construction of a multi-language pronunciation lexicon of proper names. That project covered eleven European languages: Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. Although the ONOMASTICA project ended in June 1995, the work continued with the introduction of new partners, addressing names in Eastern and Central European languages: Czech, Estonian, Latvian, Polish, Romanian, Slovakian, Slovenian and Ukrainian, in a new project funded by the European Commission?s Copernicus Programme. Though the result of the Onomastica project related to Western languages is not available (except for the German), the result of this new project is available.
