rime-lianfen: 上海話兩分

℞: wugniu/rime-lianfen

Lianfen (上海話兩分) is the Shanghainese version of Liang-Fen input method.

It is based on zisea Liang Fen (字海兩分) data and the dictionaries of the rime-yahwe_zaonhe input method and the rime-qieyun_zaonhe input method.

Install

Get the plum configuration manager, and use it to install:

bash rime-install wugniu/rime-lianfen

Alternatively, copy lianfen.dict.yaml and lianfen.schema.yaml into your Rime/ directory.

Finally, ensure that you have activated lianfen in your Rime/default.yaml configuration file or patch it in your Rime/default.custom.yaml:

schema_list:
  - { schema: lianfen }

Usage

Input a character by the pronunciation of two parts. For example:

• 蒛 = 艹 (tshau) + 缺 (chiuih) = tshauchiuih
• 蒜 = 艹 (tshau) + 示 (zy) = tshauzy

More detailed rules can be found here (in Chinese).

You can press v to enter the Cangjie reverse lookup.

Customise

You can uncomment rules in lianfen.schema.yaml to customise the input method, such as enabling support for the 吳語學堂-style romanisation, or enabling support for new-generation Shanghainese (新派).
