## Installation

Run the following command in your virtualenv to install this package.

`pip install sinling`

## How to use
### Sinhala Tokenizer
```python
from sinling import SinhalaTokenizer

tokenizer = SinhalaTokenizer()

sentence = '...'  # your sentence

tokenizer.tokenize(sentence)
```

### Sinhala Stemmer (Experimental)
```python
from sinling import SinhalaStemmer

stemmer = SinhalaStemmer()

word = '...'  # your sentence

stemmer.stem(word)
```

Please cite [sinhala-stemmer](https://github.com/rksk/sinhala-news-analysis/tree/master/sinhala-stemmer) if you are using this implementation.

### Part-of-Speech Tagger

```python
from sinling import SinhalaTokenizer, POSTagger

tokenizer = SinhalaTokenizer()

document = '...'  # may contain multiple sentences

tokenized_sentences = [tokenizer.tokenize(f'{ss}.') for ss in tokenizer.split_sentences(document)]

tagger = POSTagger()

pos_tags = tagger.predict(tokenized_sentences)
```

### Word Joiner (Morphological Joiner)
```python
from sinling import preprocess, word_joiner

w1 = preprocess('මුනි')
w2 = preprocess('උතුමා')
results = word_joiner.join(w1, w2)
# Returns a list of possible results after applying join rules ['මුනිතුමා', ...]
```

### Word Splitter (Morphological Splitter) / corpus based - *experimental*
```python
from sinling import word_splitter

word = '...'
results = word_splitter.split(word)
# Returns a dict containing debug information, base word and affix
```
