lute3-cantonese

A Cantonese parser for Lute (lute3) using the pycantonese library.

Installation

See the Lute manual.

Usage

When this parser is installed, you can add "Cantonese Chinese" as a language to Lute, which comes with a simple story.

Segmentation

pycantonese segments text using longest-string matching, trained on the HKCanCor corpus and the rime-cantonese word list. Both traditional and simplified characters are handled, though the training data is traditional-oriented, so traditional texts are segmented more accurately.

Readings

Terms are romanized using Jyutping (e.g. 你好 → nei5 hou2), shown in the reading box if show_romanization is enabled.
