Thanks for creating this library! I have not looked into the code in detail, but would like to ask a few questions?

it looks like the "soundex" functionality from Apache is heavily biased to the English language only?
Do you have any estimates of the performance/complexity of the algorithms involved? I am considering this library for searching/iterating through in-memory data objects that have no other indexing.

Hi

You are right the use of soundex is limited to english. But it is relatively easy to plugin new functions that support other languages.
The complexity measured in our tests is almost linear (see here for details). This would work well for in-memory data
