Performs 漢字検定 (Japan Kanji Aptitude Test) level analysis on given Kanji.
nanq can inform the user of a number of statistics regarding Kanji and the Nation Kanji Examination, also known as 漢字検定 or 漢検. In the most simple case, it will reveal what inputed Kanji belong to what Level of the exam.
NANQ
Author: Colin Woodbury [email protected]
NanQ is a Japanese Kanji analysation program written in Haskell. Its main function is to tell what Kanji belong to what Level of the Japanese National Kanji Examination (漢字検定).
NanQ can be used to:
- determine what Level individual Kanji belong to
- determine the average Level (difficulty, in other words) of a group of Kanji
- apply the above to whole files of Japanese
INSTALLING NANQ
First, get the source files from:
https://github.com/fosskers/nanq
NanQ is written in Haskell and uses the stack tool. Once stack is installed, move to the source directory and perform:
stack build
stack install
USAGE
Assuming you've made it so that you can run the executable, the following command-line options are available:
ANALYSIS OPTIONS
| Short | Long | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -a | --average | Given Japanese input, finds the average Level of all Kanji present |
| -u | --unknowns | Reports Kanji whose Level could not be determined |
| -h | --help | Prints a message explaining these options |
| -l | --leveldist | Find the % distribution of Levels in given Japanese |
| -s | --splits | Show what Level each Kanji belongs to |
| -d | --density | Determines how much of the input is made up of Kanji |
| -e | --elementary | Determines how much of the input is made up of Kanji learned in Japanese Elementary School |
INPUT SOURCE OPTIONS
| Short | Long | Description |
|---|---|---|
| none | none | Analyse a String of Japanese given from the command line |
| -f | --file | Get input from a given file |
NOTES ON CLOs
- All options above can be mixed to include their analysis result in the output JSON.
-hwill over-ride any other options or arguments, discarding them and printing a help message.
