zomi‑syl

A modular, dialect‑aware Zomi syllabification library with rule‑based and CRF backends.

zomi-syl provides a production‑ready syllabifier for Zomi, supporting multiple dialects, multiple backends, and a clean, extensible architecture. It includes:

• A fast rule‑based syllabifier
• A statistical CRF syllabifier
• A unified API
• A full CLI
• A backend registry
• Benchmarking tools
• Dialect profiles
• A clean, documented developer workflow

---

🚀 Features

• Multiple backends: rule‑based, CRF, transformer‑ready
• Dialect‑aware syllabification (csy [Siyin], ctd [Tedim] , gnb [Gangte], kmm [Kom Rem], pck [Paite], vap [Vaiphei], smt [Simte], tcz [Thado/Thadou], zom [Zo/Zou], [Mate], [Thangkhal], Zolai Standard, Myanmar Zomi, India Zomi)
• Unified API (zs.syllabify(), zs.analyze())
• Full CLI (zomi-syl syllabify, zomi-syl models benchmark, zomi-syl models compare)
• Benchmarking & evaluation tools
• Extensible backend architecture
• Clean developer documentation

---

📦 Installation

pip install zomi-syl

---

🧠 Quick Start

Syllabify a word

zomi-syl syllabify itna

Analyze a word

zomi-syl analyze itna --json

Batch syllabify

zomi-syl batch words.txt --output out.txt

---

🧰 Python API

import zomi_syl as zs

zs.syllabify("itna")
zs.analyze("itna")

---

🧩 Backends

zomi-syl supports multiple backends through a unified registry:

• rule — deterministic rule‑based syllabifier
• crf — statistical CRF syllabifier
• transformer — placeholder for future transformer models

List available backends:

zomi-syl models list

Show backend metadata:

zomi-syl models info crf

---

📊 Benchmarking

Single backend

zomi-syl models benchmark crf

Compare multiple backends

zomi-syl models compare rule crf

Compare all backends

zomi-syl models compare --all

---

🩺 Diagnostics

Run a full backend self‑test:

zomi-syl models doctor

This checks:

• registry integrity
• model metadata
• backend loadability
• single prediction
• batch prediction
