Syllable segmentation of Cornish text

I will put a write up of the my solar eclipse pictures on this blog, dreckly. In the meantime find the pictures on my Google+ album.

For a while now I have been working on, from time to time a Python program to segment Cornish words into syllables using regular expressions. So far I've worked in Kernewek Kemmyn, but one of the uses I have in mind for this is to transliterate text from one orthography to another.

Here are a few test inputs. This is fairly early results and it will need some more testing. I will put the code online once I have the chance to debug it a little more.:
