R: Query the list of supported languages

getStemLanguages {SnowballC} | R Documentation

## Query the list of supported languages

### Description

This dynamically determines the names of the languages for which stemming is currently supported by this package.

### Usage

    getStemLanguages()

### Details

The language names in lower case are returned, though please note that two- and three- letter ISO-639 codes are also accepted by `wordStem` (see references for the list of codes).

This queries the C code for the list of languages that were compiled when the package was installed which in turn is determined by the code that was included in the distributed package itself.

### Value

A character vector giving the names of the languages.
