Punjabi Stopwords Library

The punjabi_stopwords library is a Python package providing a collection of stopwords in the Punjabi language. Stopwords are words which are filtered out before processing natural language data. They are typically words that are very common in the language and do not contribute much to the meaning of a sentence, especially when performing tasks like text analysis or natural language processing.

Main Features

The punjabi_stopwords package offers several functionalities, including:

1. Identifying Punjabi stopwords in text.
2. Removing Punjabi stopwords from text.
3. Adding custom stopwords to the existing list.
