+
+## Priority Analysis
+
+Functions and methods are categorized by priority based on:
+
+- **Scope:** Public vs. private
+- **Internal references:** How frequently they're used within the package
+- **Test coverage:** Which test suite they belong to (core, compact, extra,
+  noauto)
+
+### High Priority Items
+
+**Criteria:** Public functions with >10 internal references in core/compact
+test suites
+
+**Finding:** No functions without type hints fall into this category,
+indicating that the most critical, widely-used public APIs are well-covered.
+
+### Medium Priority Items
+
+**Criteria:** Public functions with 3-10 references
+
+**Functions without type hints (51 total):**
+
+Top items include:
+
+- `pythainlp.corpus.util.tokenize` (991 references)
+- `pythainlp.classify.param_free.GzipModel.train` (164 references)
+- Various `__init__` methods across multiple classes (113 references each)
+
+**Functions with incomplete type hints (43 total):**
+
+Top items include:
+
+- `pythainlp.tokenize.nercut.segment` (2/3 params hinted)
+- `pythainlp.classify.param_free.GzipModel.load` (missing return type)
+- Various `__init__` methods missing return type hints
+
+### Low Priority Items
+
+**Criteria:** Private functions or rarely referenced functions
+
+- **21 functions** without type hints
+- **13 functions** with incomplete type hints
+
+## Test Suite Coverage
+
+Functions are mapped to test suites based on the test categorization:
+
+- **core:** Core functionality tests (no external dependencies)
+- **compact:** Tests with stable, small dependencies
+- **extra:** Tests with larger dependencies
+- **noauto:** Tests not run in CI/CD (e.g., TensorFlow dependencies)
+- **unknown:** Functions not clearly mapped to a test suite
+
+Most functions requiring type hint improvements are either in "unknown"
+test suite category or are tested indirectly.
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate Actions (High Priority)
+
+1. **Complete coverage for widely-used public APIs**
+   - ✅ Already achieved - no high-priority items without type hints
+
+### Short-term Improvements (Medium Priority)
+
+1. **transliterate submodule** (48.00% coverage)
+   - Focus on 30 functions without type hints
+   - Address 9 functions with incomplete hints
+
+2. **classify submodule** (20.00% coverage)
+   - Add type hints to 3 incomplete functions
+   - Add type hints to 1 function without hints
+
+3. **el (entity linking) submodule** (20.00% coverage)
+   - Add type hints to 3 functions without hints
+   - Complete 1 function with incomplete hints
+
+4. **chat submodule** (25.00% coverage)
+   - Add type hints to 2 functions without hints
+   - Complete 1 function with incomplete hints
+
+5. **wangchanberta submodule** (44.44% coverage)
+   - Add type hints to 4 functions without hints
+   - Complete 1 function with incomplete hints
+
+6. **Add return type hints to `__init__` methods**
+   - Many class `__init__` methods are missing `-> None` return type
+   - This is a quick win that significantly improves completeness
+
+### Long-term Goals
+
+1. **Achieve 95%+ coverage across all submodules**
+2. **Maintain type hint standards for new code**
+3. **Gradually improve coverage in legacy code during maintenance**
+
+## Detailed Results
+
+Full analysis results with file locations and line numbers are available in:
+
+- **JSON format:** `/tmp/type_hint_analysis.json`
+- **Text report:** Contains full listings of all functions by priority
+
+## Analysis Methodology
+
+This analysis was performed using a custom AST-based analyzer that:
+
+1. Scans all Python files in the repository
+2. Parses function and method definitions using Python's `ast` module
+3. Checks for type hints on parameters and return values
+4. Categorizes functions by:
+   - Completeness (complete/incomplete/none)
+   - Scope (public/private)
+   - Internal reference count
+   - Test suite mapping
+5. Assigns priority based on the above factors
+6. Runs mypy on each submodule to count type-related errors
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- Classes themselves are not scored (only their methods)
+- `self` and `cls` parameters are excluded from type hint requirements
+- Functions with no parameters and no return type hint are marked as "none"
+- Functions with all parameters typed and return type are marked as
+  "complete"
+- Everything else is marked as "incomplete"
+
+## Conclusion
+
+PyThaiNLP demonstrates **strong type hint adoption** with 82.22% complete
+coverage. The codebase has excellent coverage in core modules (cli, corpus,
+tag, spell) and good coverage in most other areas.
+
+The main areas for improvement are specialized modules like `transliterate`,
+`classify`, `el`, and `chat`, which represent opportunities for enhancing
+type safety and developer experience.
