NAME

    Lingua::AR::Tashkeel - Subroutines for handling Arabic Vowels and Vowel
    marks

SYNOPSIS

        use Lingua::AR::Tashkeel;
    
        # Strip all short vowels
        Lingua::AR::Tashkeel->strip('مَكَرُونَة'); # => مكرونة
        # Heuristic for removing short vowels without causing ambiguity
        Lingua::AR::Tashkeel->prune('فَتَّة');    # => فتّة
        # Heuristic for fixing mixed up short and long vowels
        Lingua::AR::Tashkeel->fix('ماحشي');    # => مَحشي 

DESCRIPTION

        Subroutines for working with Arabic long (حروف علة) and short vowels (حركات تشكيل)

METHODS AND ARGUMENTS

    new()

      Constructs a new Lingua::AR::Tashkeel instance.

    strip($string)

      Strips away all Arabic short vowels (Tashkeel).

    prune($string)

      Heuristic for pruning the short vowels that a native speaker wouldn't
      write, as leaving them out wouldn't introduce ambiguity.

      This is often preferable to strip, as Shaddas, or Dammas that
      indicate a passive verb are useful clues that one might want to keep.

    fix($string)

      Transliterating from a romanized representation of Arabic to actual
      Arabic script often gives incorrect results regarding short/long
      vowels.

      This subroutine implements a heuristic for fixing such mix ups.

REQUIREMENTS

    Needs Perl v5.18 or greater
