Phonological Typology (WALS Chapters 1--19) #

@cite{dryer-haspelmath-2013} @cite{maddieson-2013}

Formalizes the phonological inventory and prosodic typology chapters from the World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS), covering:

The 19 WALS features are captured in a single PhonProfile structure. Chapters 5, 10B, 15, and 16 are omitted from the profile as they are sub-classifications of other chapters, but their generated data is available via converter functions, grounding theorems, and distribution theorems.
