Markov Word Generator
Give it words from a dictionary, and it'll create made-up words that have the same "feel", as if they're from the same language. (Also works on made-up languages like conlangs.)The original inspiration for this project came from a YouTube video (en français): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsR7r2378j0
Use It:
- Install Python2 or Python3,
numpy, andclick. Macs should have Python2 installed already. - Download the folder from https://github.com/hchiam/word_gen (look for the clone or download button) and go to that folder using Terminal/CLI/Bash.
- Then run this command (you'll have to wait a little while it processes your data):
python make_map.py && python create_words.py
Note: That little "
&&" runs the second python command only if the first python command works. You can just re-run python create_words.py without having to run the other one (if you didn't reset the input words in input.txt).Input data file:
input.txt. Put at least about 30 words
here to have the algorithm working, but maybe over a thousand to get
more robust/realistic results. You can get real word lists from the
Gutenberg project.Output data file:
output.txt. See your words get generated here! :)_________________________
