# This is a non-breaking prefix list for the Dutch language.
# The file is used for sentence tokenization (text -> sentence splitting).
#
# The file was taken from Lingua::Sentence package:
#     http://search.cpan.org/~achimru/Lingua-Sentence-1.03/lib/Lingua/Sentence.pm
#

# Anything in this file, followed by a period (and an upper-case word), does NOT
# indicate an end-of-sentence marker.
# Special cases are included for prefixes that ONLY appear before 0-9 numbers.

# Any single upper case letter followed by a period is not a sentence ender
# (excluding I occasionally, but we leave it in).
# Usually upper case letters are initials in a name.

# Misc.
# Odd period-ending items that NEVER indicate breaks (p.m. does NOT fall into this
# category - it sometimes ends a sentence).
# We seem to have a lot of these in dutch i.e.: i.p.v - "in plaats van" ("instead of")
# never ends a sentence.

# Numbers only. These should only induce breaks when followed by a numeric sequence
# Add NUMERIC_ONLY after the word for this function.
# This case is mostly for the english "No." which can either be a sentence of its own, or
# if followed by a number, a non-breaking prefix.
