Subject: Wanted: Burmese Names Data

 
Greetings:

As a hobby, I have developed several web apps where you can enter your name in
Roman script and see it converted into another script. I have several in place
currently, including Arabic, Cherokee, Cyrillic, Greek, Inuktikut and others.

I'm interested in developing rule sets to process abugida type scripts, and I
would be very interested in getting ahold of large sets of phonebook data for
Burmese-script names and those in other similar scripts. (As a side note,
similar names data for other Southeast Asian languages such as Khmer, Lao and
Thai would also be of interest. And the scripts of India.)

I'm willing to pay a small amount for this material. I can't pay much because
this is not a commercial project and I am not earning any money from it. But
I’m certainly willing to pay something along the order of what a retail
customer might pay for a CD set of such data.

If you can help, I’d be most grateful. And, if you’re interested in seeing
what my script converter pages do, here’s a sample link to the Arabic one:

Thanks in advance,
