Loquax, (Latin for "chatty"), is an extensible Python library for analyzing and manipulating phonology of endangered & extinct languages. It provides functionality for:

• Syllabification: Break down words into their fundamental phonetic components.
• Phoneme Analysis: Understand the unique sounds and their roles within words.
• Morphological Transformations: Observe and manipulate the structure of words.
• IPA Transliteration: Convert text into the International Phonetic Alphabet for universal comprehension.
• Scansion: Analyze the rhythm of verse in classical poetry, and syllable weight in general.

Loquax is a zero-dependency tool, using functional style Python 3.10+ features to revive the sounds of the past, one phoneme at a time.
