  • breaking each word in a dictionary into syllable-like units;

    for each word, grouping the syllable-like units of the word into n-grams;

    counting the total number of n-gram occurrences in the dictionary; and

    for each n-gram, counting the number of occurrences of the n-gram in the dictionary and dividing this count by the total number of n-gram occurrences to form a language model probability for the n-gram.
