pip install denckring[fr]

Installing this gives the French pack lexicon.words, lexicon.nouns, lexicon.glosses, lexicon.graded_words, syllables, syllables.dictionary, syllables.heuristic and phonemes. The lexicon capabilities are what charade, semordnilap, word_square, n_plus_7, s_plus_7, tmesis, word_ladder, kangaroo_word and the two definitional rows need in order to run in French — and what apply anagram needs in order to generate in it. The prosody capabilities, plus the line-level elision rules FrenchDataPack overrides line_syllables with, are what the 23 syllabic rows (alexandrine, syllable_count, rhyme_scheme, haiku, hemeling, and the rest — ADR 0034) need in order to run in French. Without this package, all of it raises MissingCapability for fr, exactly as for any unmet capability. French still has no lexical stress, so the 18 rows that need stress stay blocked regardless — see ADR 0034 D3.

125,653 syllable/phoneme rows and 3,370 aspirated-h entries, alongside the lexicon: 46,947 lemmas, 48,234 noun forms and a Wiktionary gloss slice. Both sources are CC BY-SA 4.0 — attribution and share-alike — Lexique 3.82 for the lexicon and the prosody table, French Wiktionary for the glosses and the aspirated-h list. See LICENSE-LEXIQUE and LICENSE-WIKTIONARY. Regenerate the vendored files with scripts/build_lexicon.py.

Accents are preserved rather than folded. côte and cote are different words, and whether they should be treated alike is a decision ADR 0009 leaves to the procedure, not to the lexicon.

The French line count is estimated, never exact (ADR 0034 D4): a final mute e elides or counts depending on what follows it, and classical diérèse is not decidable from spelling alone. Every syllabic report carries estimated_words accordingly.
