# About
Stop words are words that don't carry much meaning, and are typically removed as a preprocessing step before text
analysis or natural language processing. This crate contains common stop words for a variety of languages. This crate uses stop word
lists from [Stopwords ISO](https://github.com/stopwords-iso) and also from [NLTK](https://www.nltk.org/).
# Usage
Using this crate is fairly straight-forward:
```rust, ignore
// Get the stop words
let words = stop_words::get(stop_words::LANGUAGE::English);
// Print them
for word in words {
println!("{}", word);
}
```
The function ``get`` will take either a member of the `LANGUAGE` enum or a two-letter ISO language code as either a `str` or a `String` type.
You can find a complete example of how to read in a text file and remove stop words [here](https://github.com/cmccomb/rust-stop-words/blob/master/examples/remove_stop_words_with_regex.rs).
# ISO Language Availability

# Constructed Language Availability
We also support some constructed (fictional/fantasy) languages! Expand the table below to see a comprehensive description. `ChatGPT` was used to generate these lists quickly, so they are incomplete and approximate. Help welcome! To use these languages, add the `constructed` feature.

The following prompt was used with the Mar 14, 2023 version of `ChatGPT`:
```text
Please give me one list of 20+ stop words for each of the following languages: Sindarin, Quenya, Dothraki, Na'vi,
Dovahzul, Klingon, and High Valyrian. I'd like the lists to be formatted as follows:
Sindarin
1. [word goes here]
2. [word goes here]
...
Quenya
1. [word goes here]
...
And so on.
