@bozden Thanks for the comment. I have not checked old German databases but I take your word for it. I understand and sympathise with your problem. Consistency is very important for any database … that and good intuitive documentation, so it is really unfortunate. Maybe that is why I do not see a lot of research paper that uses CommonVoice. However, I guess beggers (those who desperately need data) can not be chosers.
Lastly, I apologies for my original comment above which had an error. I can not edit it now (perhaps because there is your reply, which I am grateful for) but here is what I meant to say:
- [Error]
