Hi--

A good place to start is Chapter 5 of the report from the 2002
Johns Hopkins summer workshop where the FLM tools were
implemented. The report is here:
www.clsp.jhu.edu/ws2002/groups/arabic/arabic-final.pdf

All versions of SRILM after v1.4 have these FLM tools
included, just look in the flm/ directory. You may want
to start with the "fngram" and "fngram-count" functions.
