Linguistics is a tool for creating linguistic utilities for Ruby objects in any language.
It includes a generic language-independent front end, a module for mapping language codes into language names, and a module which contains various English-language utilities.
The framework consists of three parts: a core linguistics module which contains the class-extension framework for languages, a generic inflector class that serves as a delegator for linguistic methods on Ruby objects, and one or more language-specific modules which contain the actual linguistic functions.
The module works by adding a single instance method for each language named after the language's two-letter code (or three-letter code, if no two-letter code is defined by ISO639) to various Ruby classes.
This allows many language-specific methods to be added to objects without cluttering up the interface or risking collision between them, albeit at the cost of three or four more characters per method invocation.
