Burmese-Tools

burmese-tools is a Python library that mainly designed for transformation between unicode and zawgyi burmese lanuage script. Moreover, it also support syllable tokenization for burmese unicode and parital syllable tokenization for burmese zawgyi.

Features

• Zawgyi to Unicode Conversion: Convert Zawgyi-encoded text to Unicode.
• Unicode to Zawgyi Conversion: Transform Unicode text back to Zawgyi.
• Unicode Syllable Tokenization: Tokenize Burmese Unicode text into syllables with customizable splitting.
• Partial Zawgyi Syllable Tokenization: Tokenize Burmese Zawgyi text into syllables.

Installation

You can install this library from PyPI:

pip install burmese-tools

Usage

Importing the Library

from burmese_tools import tools

Convert Zawgyi to Unicode

text_zawgyi = "ကႏၲာရ"
converted_text = tools.zaw2uni(text_zawgyi)
print(converted_text)  # Output: ကန္တာရ

Convert Unicode to Zawgyi

text_unicode = "ကန္တာရ"
converted_text = tools.uni2zaw(text_unicode)
print(converted_text)  # Output: ကႏၲာ႐

Tokenize Unicode Text into Syllables

The uni_syllable function is a utility to tokenize Unicode text into syllable tokens, allowing for flexible splitting methods.

Features

• Tokenizes Unicode text into syllables.
• Provides two types of splitting:
  • Type 1: Splits ဂန္ဓာရ into ['ဂ', 'န္ဓာ', 'ရ']. (default)
  • Type 2: Splits ဂန္ဓာရ into ['ဂန္', 'ဓာ', 'ရ'].
• Supports an optional transform to replace ္ with ် (applies only when type=2) d
  • default = True

text = "ကန္တာရ"
tokens = tools.uni_syllable(text, type=1)
print(tokens)  # Output: ['က', 'န္တာ', 'ရ']

text = "ကန္တာရ"
tokens = tools.uni_syllable(text, type=2)
print(tokens)  # Output: ['ကန်', 'တာ', 'ရ']

text = "ကန္တာရ"
tokens = tools.uni_syllable(text, type=2, transform=False)
print(tokens)  # Output: ['ကန္', 'တာ', 'ရ']

Tokenize Zawgyi Text into Partial Syllables

text = "ကႏၲာရ"
tokens = tools.zaw_partial_syllable(text)
print(tokens)  # Output: ['က', 'ႏၲာ', 'ရ']  in unicode ['က', 'န္တာ', 'ရ']
