README

Independent library to detect gender by name in Czech language. Also provides 5th grammatical case (vocative) for salutation. Nezávislá knihovna pro detekci pohlaví podle jména. Kromě toho je schopna dle zadaného jména vrátit 5. pád pro oslovení.

See example.php for example of use.

Please be patient, this is my first github project and I use it as a testing playground.
