This repository houses a set of language-neutral tools for converting CSVs to a finite-state transducer (FST), as well as for testing that FST via YAML files.
Documentation can be found inside docs.
This package can be installed via pip:
pip install fstmorph
The distribution files can also be downloaded directly from the dist/ folder.
A thorough example of how to use this package is given in OjibweMorph, outlining how to build, test, and use an FST in Ojibwe using FSTmorph. The Makefile there outlines how the code in this repo is utilized.
That said, this FST-generating code is intended to be applicable for other Algonquian languages and beyond -- if you have the necessary spreadsheets for your target language, it should be compatible with this code!
