NAME

AM::Abbreviate - Expand or Contract Amharic Abbreviations

SYNOPSIS

  use Lingua::AM::Abbreviate;

        while ( $string = <> ) {  # some UTF8 string
                if ( $contracted = Contract ( $string ) ) {
                        print "$string => $contracted\n";
                } elsif ( $expanded = Expand ( $string ) ) {
                        print "$string => $expanded\n";
                }
        }

DESCRIPTION

AM::Abbreviate provides two routines, ``Expand'' and ``Contract'', to assist in Amharic translation or spell checking. Each routine expects an Amharic string in UTF8 encoding as an argument and returns an expansion or contraction if found.
