inflecteaz

Inflecteaz is a software framework for generating inflected word forms across natural languages. It is designed for linguistic research, lexicography, and NLP applications, with a focus on modular data models and extensibility.

The core component is an inflection engine that, given a lemma, part of speech, and morphological features (such as number, tense, mood, case, gender), outputs valid inflected forms. It supports multiple languages through language packs and can be used standalone or integrated into existing pipelines.

Inflecteaz uses a hybrid architecture combining rule-based grammars for productive forms with lexical exception lists for irregular forms. It can also incorporate machine-learned models to predict rare inflections or to improve coverage in under-resourced languages.

Data for languages is stored in a structured registry, including morphosyntactic feature schemas, inflection tables, and annotations. Interfaces are provided via JSON, REST APIs, and a command-line tool, enabling batch processing, dictionary generation, and in-app morphophonology checks.

Inflecteaz is an open-source project maintained by a community of linguists and developers. It is distributed under a permissive open-source license and offers documentation, language packs, and contribution guidelines to encourage community involvement.
