[docs] def characters_to_jyutping( chars: str | list[str], ) -> list[tuple[str, str]]: """Convert Cantonese characters into Jyutping romanization. The conversion model is based on the HKCanCor corpus and rime-cantonese data. Any unseen Cantonese character (or punctuation mark, for that matter) is represented by `None` in the output. Parameters ---------- chars : str or list[str] A string of Cantonese characters, in which case word segmentation is also run on this input string (by :func:`~pycantonese.segment`) in order to resolve potential ambiguity in mapping characters to Jyutping. If you don't want word segmentation to be done, then provide a list of strings instead with your desired segmentation. Returns ------- list[tuple[str, str]] A list of segmented words, where each word is a 2-tuple of (Cantonese characters, Jyutping romanization). Examples -------- >>> characters_to_jyutping("香港人講廣東話。") # Hongkongers speak Cantonese. [('香港人', 'hoeng1gong2jan4'), ('講', 'gong2'), ('廣東話', 'gwong2dung1waa2'), ('。', None)] """ # noqa: E501 if not chars: return [] if isinstance(chars, list): segmented = chars else: segmented = segment(chars) words_to_jyutping, chars_to_jyutping = _get_words_characters_to_jyutping() result = [] for word in segmented: try: jp = words_to_jyutping[word] except KeyError: jp = "" for char in word: try: jp += chars_to_jyutping[char] except KeyError: jp = None break result.append((word, jp)) return result
