Add support for Tagalog #104

Closed jqnatividad closed 2 years ago

jqnatividad commented 2 years ago

Tagalog is the national language of the Philippines, and Filipinos - per the 2021 We Are Social annual report are "still the world’s biggest consumers of social media, spending an average of 4 hours and 15 minutes per day using social platforms – a full half an hour more than second-placed Colombians."

I'm a native speaker, and if you can point me in the right direction, I can add Tagalog support.

@jqnatividad I see. Here are the steps:

Copy the trigrams from Franc: https://github.com/wooorm/franc/blob/main/packages/franc/data.js#L30
Paste them into https://github.com/greyblake/whatlang-rs/blob/master/misc/data.json in the Latin section
Run ruby misc/update_support_languages.rb it should regenerate all relevant files
Add a test sample into tests/examples.json

Thanks!
