Description: whatlang
=========

Lightning Fast Language Prediction :rocket:

Dependencies
=============

The below dependencies must be installed.

```
$ pip install future==0.16.0
$ pip install Cython==0.27.2
$ pip install cysignals==1.6.5
$ pip install pyfasttext==0.4.3
```

Basic Usage
============

Predicting Language using ``whatlang``

```python
>>> from whatlang import WhatLang
>>> wl = WhatLang()
>>> wl.predict_lang("Mother")
'en'
>>> wl.predict_lang(u"தாய்")
'ta'
>>> wl.predict_lang(u"അമ്മ")
'ml'
```

Batch Prediction is also supported

```python
>>>wl.predict_lang(["English sentence",u"അമ്മ"])
['en','ml']
```


Supported Language
==================

Supports 176 languages . The ISO codes for the corresponding languages are as below.
