WHAT IS LNGCNV

lngcnv may stand for "language converter", "linguistic converter", "lenguaje convertido", and the like.

lngcnv constitutes a set of linguistic tools which allow (a) displaying pronunciation of a phrase and (b) converting between different (e.g., regional) norms of orthography when a word or some piece of text is provided as an argument directly from the command line.

Multiple modern and ancient languages are (projected to be) supported.

SUPPORTED LANGUAGES

1. English: orthography

2. Latin: pronunciation & orthography

3. Quechua: orthography

4. Tikuna: pronunciation & orthography

Support for more languages (including Polish, Spanish) is under active development.
