DESCRIPTION

Overview

Lingua::Klingon::Segment is a module which allows you to decompose Klingon words into syllables and letters.

Exports

Lingua::Klingon::Segment exports no functions by default, in order to avoid namespace pollution. However, all functions listed here can be imported explicitly by naming them, or they can be imported all together by using the tag ':all'.

syllabify

This subroutine splits a given word into syllables. It returns the list of syllables that make up that word.

spell

This subroutine splits a given word into letters. It returns the list of letters that make up that word (counting all Klingon letters as one, including 'ch', 'gh', 'ng', and 'tlh').

LIMITATIONS

Lingua::Klingon::Segment has only been tested on single words. If you pass it multi-word phrases, it will only extract Klingon letters or syllables.

BUGS

None currently known. If you find any, please email me.
