The Komi-Zyrian morphology and tools

Download nightly / CI/CD installation packages for testing (contains the core zhfst file(s)):

NB!! Note that the nightly / CI/CD installation packages are not tested for language quality, and might contain regressions and errors.

This repository contains finite state source files for the Komi-Zyrian language, for building morphological analysers, proofing tools and dictionaries. The data and implementation are licenced under LICENSE licence, also detailed in the LICENSE. The authors named in the AUTHORS file are available to grant other licencing choices.

Install proofing tools and keyboards for the Komi-Zyrian language by using the Divvun Installer (some languages are only available via the nightly channel).

Download and test speller files

The speller files downloadable at the top of this page (the *.bhfst files) can be used with divvunspell, to test their performance. These files are the exact same ones as installed on users' computers and mobile phones. Desktop and mobile speller files differ from each other in the error model and should be tested separately — thus also two different downloads.

Core dependencies

In order to compile and use Komi-Zyrian language morphology and dictionaries, you need:

• an FST compiler: HFST, Foma or Xerox Xfst
• VislCG3 Constraint Grammar tools

To install VislCG3 and HFST, just copy/paste this into your Terminal on macOS:

curl https://apertium.projectjj.com/osx/install-nightly.sh | sudo bash

or terminal on Ubuntu, Debian or Windows Subsystem for Linux:

wget https://apertium.projectjj.com/apt/install-nightly.sh -O - | sudo bash sudo apt-get install cg3 hfst

or terminal on RedHat, Fedora, CentOS or Windows Subsystem for Linux:

wget https://apertium.projectjj.com/rpm/install-nightly.sh -O - | sudo bash sudo dnf install cg3 hfst

Alternatively, the Apertium wiki has good instructions on how to install the dependencies for Mac OS X and how to install the dependencies on linux

Further details and dependencies are described on the GiellaLT Getting Started pages.

Downloading

Using Git: git clone https://github.com/giellalt/lang-kpv

Using Subversion: svn checkout https://github.com/giellalt/lang-kpv.git/trunk lang-kpv

Building and installation

INSTALL describes the GNU build system in detail, but for most users it is the usual:

sh ./autogen.sh # This will automatically clone or check out other GiellaLT dependencies ./configure make (as root) make install w
