Amharic Segmenter and tokenizer
-------------------------------

This is a simple script that split an Amharic document into different
sentences and tokenes. If you find an issue, please let us know in the
GitHub `Issues <https://github.com/uhh-lt/amharicprocessor/issues>`__

The Segmenter is part of the ``Semantic Models for Amharic`` Project

Usage 
-------
Install the segmenter: ``pip install amseg``

Tokenization and Segmentation
-------------------------------
Use the following code for sentence segmentation and word tokenization

::

    from amseg.amharicSegmenter import AmharicSegmenter
    sent_punct = [] 
    word_punct = [] 
    segmenter = AmharicSegmenter(sent_punct,word_punct) 
    words = segmenter.amharic_tokenizer("እአበበ በሶ በላ።") 
    sentences = segmenter.tokenize_sentence("እአበበ በሶ በላ። ከበደ ጆንያ፤ ተሸከመ፡!ለምን?")

Outputs

    words = ['እአበበ', 'በሶ', 'በላ', '።']

    sentences = ['እአበበ በሶ በላ።', 'ከበደ ጆንያ፤ ተሸከመ፡!', 'ለምን?']

Romanization and Normalization
-------------------------------
The following code show cases how to normalize and romanize a given Amharic text

::

    from amseg.amharicNormalizer import AmharicNormalizer as normalizer
    from amseg.amharicRomanizer import AmharicRomanizer as romanizer
    normalized = normalizer.normalize('ሑለት ሦስት')
    romanized = romanizer.romanize('ሑለት ሦስት')

Outputs 
    > normalized = 'ሁለት ሶስት' 
    > romanized = 'ḥulat śosət'

Transliteration to Amharic Fidel
---------------------------------
The following code show cases how to transliterate a given latin script text to Amahric Fidel script text

::

    from amseg.amharicTranslitrator import AmharicTranslitrator as  transliterator
    transliterated = transliterator.transliterate('misa belah')

Outputs 
    > transliterated = 'ሚሳ በላህ'
