NAME
Lingua::AR::Tashkeel - Subroutines for handling Arabic Vowels and Vowel
marks
SYNOPSIS
use Lingua::AR::Tashkeel qw(strip prune fix);
# Strip all short vowels
strip('مَكَرُونَة'); # => مكرونة
# Heuristic for removing short vowels without causing ambiguity
prune('فَتَّة'); # => فتّة
# Heuristic for fixing mixed up short and long vowels
fix('ماحشي'); # => مَحشي
DESCRIPTION
Subroutines for working with Arabic long (حروف علة) and short vowels
(حركات تشكيل)
METHODS AND ARGUMENTS
strip($string)
Strips away all Arabic short vowels (Tashkeel).
prune($string)
Heuristic for pruning the short vowels that a native speaker wouldn't
write, as leaving them out wouldn't introduce ambiguity.
This is often preferable to strip, as Shaddas, or Dammas that
indicate a passive verb are useful clues that one might want to keep.
fix($string)
Transliterating from a romanized representation of Arabic to actual
Arabic script often gives incorrect results regarding short/long
vowels.
This subroutine implements a heuristic for fixing such mix ups.
