<br/>   abstract  = {In this paper we describe a phone mapping based method that can be used to
synthesize a new dialect with an existing dialect model of a similar dialect. The method only uses transcriptions of original dialect data, which are then mapped onto the phones in the model. We use prosodic transfer of original duration and F0 to evaluate how the basic
mapping model can be improved. We show that the prosodically enhanced models can
outperform the basic model in a pairwise comparison task and can also achieve a slightly
higher score on dialect authenticity. The goal of the proposed systems is to realize a dialect
synthesis system with a small amount of symbolic training data that can come from
transcribed dialect utterances or from the literature.},
