syllabipy

Collection of syllabification algorithms designed to be universal, aimed at low-resource languages without look-up techniques.

Note: SonoriPy has been incorporated into NLTK for Python; LegaliPy and SonoriPy have been incorporated into Talisman for JavaScript. This repo will not be updated, we recommend you use one of these two libraries.
