NAME

Lingua::LO::Romanize::Word - Class for words, used by Lingua::LO::Romanize.

VERSION

Version 0.10

SYNOPSIS

Lingua::LO::Romanize::Word is used by Lingua::LO::Romanize to divide a string to a collection of words. It is recommended to use Lingua::LO::Romanize instead of this class directly (even if it is possible).

    use Lingua::LO::Romanize::Word;

    my $foo = Lingua::LO::Romanize::Word->new(word_str => 'ພາສາລາວ');

    my $bar = $foo->romanize;           # $bar will hold the string 'phasalao'
    $foo->hyphen(1);                    # set hyphenation between syllables
    $bar = $foo->romanize;              # $bar will hold the string 'pha-sa-lao'
    $bar = $foo->word_str;              # $bar will hold the string 'ພາສາລາວ'
    
    my $syllables_array_ref = $foo->all_syllables; # will return an array reference to all syllables;
