Lingua::JA::Gairaigo::Fuzzy is a "module" for the Perl computer programming language, a library of computer code to install on a computer. This document contains four sections: 1. About - what the module does 2. Documentation - how to learn more about the module 3. Installation - how to install this module on a computer 4. Help - what to do if you get stuck ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ABOUT Lingua::JA::Gairaigo::Fuzzy - variant spellings of foreign words in Japanese Given two Japanese gairaigo words (katakana words), guess whether they are the same word. Japanese language is somewhat inconsistent in how it writes foreign loan words. For example "motor" can be モーター or モータ from the English "motor", or モートル from Dutch "motor". This module attempts to guess whether two loanwords refer to the same thing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.
