Description: # langua A faster port of https://code.google.com/archive/p/language-detection/ in Python

    Installation
    ============
    
        $ pip install langua
    
    Supported Python versions 2.7, 3.4+.
    
    
    Languages
    =========
    
    ``langua`` supports 55 languages out of the box ([ISO 639-1 codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes)):
    
        af, ar, bg, bn, ca, cs, cy, da, de, el, en, es, et, fa, fi, fr, gu, he,
        hi, hr, hu, id, it, ja, kn, ko, lt, lv, mk, ml, mr, ne, nl, no, pa, pl,
        pt, ro, ru, sk, sl, so, sq, sv, sw, ta, te, th, tl, tr, uk, ur, vi, zh-cn, zh-tw
    
    Basic usage
    ===========
    
    To detect the language of the text:
    
    ```python
    >>> from langua import Predict
    >>> p = Predict()
    >>> p.get_lang("Mother")
    'en'
    >>> p.get_lang(u"தாய்")
    'ta'
    >>> p.get_lang(u"അമ്മ")
    'ml'
    ```
    
    Benchmark Results
    ==================
    
    ```python
    >>> from langua import Predict
    >>> p = Predict()
    >>> %%timeit
       ...: p.get_lang(u"ഇംഗ്ലീഷ്")
       ...:
    1000 loops, best of 3: 721 µs per loop
    
    
    >>> from langdetect import detect
    >>> %%timeit
       ...: detect(u"ഇംഗ്ലീഷ്")
    1000 loops, best of 3: 1.07 ms per loop
    
    ```
    
    
    How to add new language?
    ========================
    
    You need to create a new language profile. The easiest way to do it is to use the [langdetect.jar](https://github.com/shuyo/language-detection/raw/master/lib/langdetect.jar) tool, which can generate language profiles from Wikipedia abstract database files or plain text.
    
    Wikipedia abstract database files can be retrieved from "Wikipedia Downloads" ([http://download.wikimedia.org/](http://download.wikimedia.org/)). They form '(language code)wiki-(version)-abstract.xml' (e.g. 'enwiki-20101004-abstract.xml' ).
    
    usage: ``java -jar langdetect.jar --genprofile -d [directory path] [language codes]``
    
    - Specify the directory which has abstract databases by -d option.
    - This tool can handle gzip compressed file.
    
    Remark: The database filename in Chinese is like 'zhwiki-(version)-abstract-zh-cn.xml' or zhwiki-(version)-abstract-zh-tw.xml', so that it must be modified 'zh-cnwiki-(version)-abstract.xml' or 'zh-twwiki-(version)-abstract.xml'.
    
    To generate language profile from a plain text, use the genprofile-text command.
    
    usage: ``java -jar langdetect.jar --genprofile-text -l [language code] [text file path]``

    Original project
    ================
    
    This is a vectorized modification of [Langdetect](https://github.com/Mimino666/langdetect) . There are some numpy optimizations and other tweaks
    which have improved the performance of predicting the language class.
    
    LangDetect was a port of another project called [language-detection](https://code.google.com/p/language-detection/)
