ithkuil

A Python package providing tools for analysing texts in the Ithkuil constructed language.

Features

• Parsing of Ithkuil formatives and adjuncts into morphemes - defined by a PEG in ithkuil.parser.grammar
• Unit tests checking the correctness of the parser
• An SQLite database containing morphological and grammatical data - the relations between morphemes and grammatical categories (ithkuil/morphology/morphology.db)
• _test.py - a test script: morphological analysis of some example words
• gloss_sentence.py - a script performing the glossing of the text given via command line or standard input

There is also a keyboard layout making it possible to type special characters being used in Ithkuil. It has been moved to a separate repository - ithkuil-utils

TODOs

Near future:

• Encode the sentence grammar in the PEG
• Update the grammar to take into account the changes made after November 2014
• Improve the grammar to accomodate mathematical expressions
• ~~Complete the database - include morphemes for adjuncts (current version only has formatives)~~

Far future:

• Word composer module: specify the values of the grammatical categories and get the word back
• Add a module for generation of images with Ithkuil native writing from latin

Would be awesome, but not sure if feasible:

• OCR for conversion of native writing into latin transcription
