NAME

    Lingua::NO::Syllable - Count the number of syllables in Norwegian
    words.

VERSION

    Version 0.03.

SYNOPSIS

        use Lingua::NO::Syllable;
    
        my $count = syllables( 'Tyrannosaurus' ); # 5, because:
                                                  # Tyr-ann-o-sau-rus

DESCRIPTION

    Lingua::NO::Syllable::syllables($word) estimates the number of
    syllables in the $word passed to it. It's an estimate, because the
    algorithm is quick and dirty, non-alpha characters aren't considered
    etc. Don't expect this module to give you a 100% correct answer.

    As the Norwegian and the Danish languages are quite similar, at least
    written, this module might work for the Danish language as well.

 ACCENTED CHARACTERS

    Accented characters, like é, à etc., are normalized (see
    Unicode::Normalize) before the number of syllables are calculated.
