Implementing Fuzzy Spelling Search in Dictionaries of Under-Described Languages Lacking Standard Orthographies Non-standard orthographies are common in the world of under-described language documentation. Whether they are semi-conventionalised community spellings, or- thographies partially adopted from missionary works, or hastily transcribed texts representing as-yet uncertain phonologies, there is a need to be able to work through lexical data in a way which can accommodate and respond to such non- standard transcriptions.
