[with apologies for cross-posting]

I am thrilled to be releasing the Kurdish Language Processing Toolkit
(https://github.com/sinaahmadi/klpt).

KLPT is a natural language processing (NLP) toolkit in Python for the Kurdish
language, a less-resourced Indo-European language which is spoken by 20-30
million speakers. This initial version comes with four core modules for the
Sorani and Kurmanji dialects of Kurdish, namely preprocess, stem,
transliterate and tokenize, and addresses basic language processing tasks such
as:

- text preprocessing
- stemming
- tokenziation
- spell error detection and correction
- morphological analysis

More importantly, it is an open-source project!

I hope that this toolkit will pave the way for further advances in Kurdish
language processing and that it receives more attention in the NLP field.

Best regards,
Sina Ahmadi
