A tool for syllabification of Latin and Spanish

Fr. Matthew Spencer

I have uploaded some tools I have to help in syllabification of texts in Latin and Spanish: http://marello.org/tools/syllabifier/.

It can also automatically prepare the text for Gabc use by putting in empty parentheses instead of syllable dividers.

The Latin syllabification uses the rules from Collins' "A Primer on Ecclesiastical Latin" and Wheelock's Latin instruction. As others have noticed, sometimes syllabification will differ for music settings to help the singer in proper execution, so your mileage may vary.

The Spanish rules come from http://sramatic.tripod.com/silabas.html.

I just recoded it into Javascript from C# so it might be buggy...

I'm happy to find http://marello.org/tools/syllabifier; I was hoping it would be like http://juiciobrennan.com/hyphenator but for Spanish/Latin, but whether I type or paste into the top box, whether (on Win10) I'm in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or MSIE, nothing shows up in the bottom box. If it works for you now, please let me know and if you have any troubleshooting tips, please share them. Thank you.

I looked at the webpage source.

These two script URLs exist
https://cdn.rawgit.com/bramstein/hypher/master/dist/jquery.hypher.js
https://gregorio-project.github.io/hyphen-la/patterns/la-hypher.js

This one frame URL does not exist
https://c.sharethis.mgr.consensu.org/v1.0/cmp/portal.html
