This software is a collection of data packages used by Rime to support various Chinese input methods, including those based on modern dialects or historical diasystems of the Chinese language.

A Rime input schema describes the behaviors of a specific input method in Rime's DSL. It consists of a configuration file named *.schema.yaml where * is schema ID, and an optional Rime dictionary file named *.dict.yaml.

A package may contain one or several interrelated input schemata and their affiliated Rime dictionaries.

• prelude: the prelude package, providing Rime's default settings
• essay: 八股文 / a shared vocabulary and language model

Modern Standard Madarin

• luna-pinyin: 朙月拼音 / Pinyin in Tranditional Chinese
• terra-pinyin: 地球拼音 / School-taught Pinyin, with tone marks
• bopomofo: 注音 / Zhuyin (aka. Bopomofo)
• pinyin-simp: 袖珍簡化字拼音 / Pinyin in Simplified Chinese

Derivatives of Pinyin

• double-pinyin: 雙拼 / Double Pinyin (ZiRanMa, ABC, flyPY, MSPY, PYJJ variants)
• combo-pinyin: 宮保拼音 / Chord-typing Pinyin
• stenotype: 打字速記法 / a stenographic system derived from ABC Easy Shorthand

Other modern varieties of Chinese

• jyutping: 粵拼 / Cantonese
• wugniu: 上海吳語 / Wu (Shanghainese)
• soutzoe: 蘇州吳語 / Wu (Suzhounese)

To prepare your Rime configuration for Squirrel, Weasel or ibus-rime, you can get started by running

curl -fsSL https://git.io/v13uY | bash

Or to get the "preset" configuration (note the colon):

curl -fsSL https://git.io/v13uY | bash -s -- :preset

This is equivalent to cloning this repo and running rime-install:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/rime/brise.git
cd brise
bash rime-install :preset

You can then add packages, many of them, from great Rime developers on GitHub:

bash rime-install middle-chinese lotem/rime-zhung acevery/rime-zhengma

For other Rime distributions, specify the path to Rime user directory in the command line:

rime_dir=$HOME/.config/fcitx/rime bash rime-install

To update la brise itself, run

bash rime-install update

The Makefile builds and installs Rime data as a binary package on Unix systems.

• git
• librime>=1.3 (for rime_deployer)

• librime>=1.3
• opencc>=1.0.2

The make target all uses git command line to download the latest packages from GitHub.

make
sudo make install

You can optionally build YAML files to binaries by setting the shell variable BRISE_BUILD_BINARIES. To build preset packages, do

BRISE_BUILD_BINARIES=yes make preset
