I've returned my language focus to Lao now that my travels through Asia have finished and I'm back home. There are not as many or as high quality resources available for Lao as for many other languages so I'm looking for some help to find some things I'm interested in for my investigations.
I would like to find either or both a word frequency and syllable frequency list for Lao.
Normally I make my own frequency lists but as Lao lacks word breaks creating a frequency list requires a good morphological analyser.
Syllables are said to be unambiguous but I'm not convinced. I'm thinking about making my own syllabification algorithm but have not yet done so.
If anybody is aware of a freely available "syllabifier" or morphological analyser for Lao, those would also be of interest.
ตากลม
which can be syllabified asตา กลม
(round eyes) orตาก ลม
(catch the wind). Also, do you have some corpus of Lao phrases and their proper syllabification? If so, I can extend my syllabifier (which is currently for Thai) to support Lao as well.
