Hi Franz, Thank you for producing this new version. It helped me find a bug in our implementation! I have a question about the name on line 17: "Aaclan" The data file shows code 0456 for this name and our implementation produces code 0856. When I walk through the table http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6lner_Phonetik#Buchstabencodes I think the output should be 0856. Can you confirm which is the correct value? Here is how I interpret the table for the letter "C" (which is before a "L") None of the cases apply until "nicht vor A, H, K, O, Q, U, X" Thank you, Gary > > In my spare time project on phonetic codes for German family names (see > http://www.genealogie-konzepte.net/chamer-phonetik) I just wanted to > show that Soundex as well as Metaphone and Cologne aren't suitable at > all to find similar names. Cham phonetics and Phonet are better. That is cool. Do you have any interest in contributing Java versions of these algorithms to Apache Commons Codec?
