The purpose is to assess the prin- ciples applied in various lexicographic works in the representation of Vedic accents and its relation to the underlying linguistic category as well as traditions of accent marking in different texts. Since the focus is on Sanskrit lexicography, we ignore the complexity of accent marking in manuscripts and the diversity of accent marking across different Indic scripts that were used to write Sanskrit over the ages. We will restrict ourselves to accent marking in Devanagari and Latin script in print, as these two are the relevant systems for virtually all of modern philological Sanskrit lexicography. The complex nature of accent marking in Vedic Sanskrit derives from several facts. Besides the intricacies of the linguistic phenomenon itself (see Kiparsky, 1973, among others), the complexity arises from the fact that different textual or editorial traditions employ structurally different systems for marking Vedic accent.

  • Language Transliteration in Indian Languages – a Lexicon Parsing Approach
    LANGUAGE TRANSLITERATION IN INDIAN LANGUAGES – A LEXICON PARSING APPROACH SUBMITTED BY JISHA T.E. Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science, Mary Matha Arts And Science College, Vemom P O, Mananthavady A Minor Research Project Report Submitted to University Grants Commission SWRO, Bangalore 1 ABSTRACT Language, ability to speak, write and communicate is one of the most fundamental aspects of human behaviour. As the study of human-languages developed the concept of communicating with non-human devices was investigated. This is the origin of natural language processing (NLP). Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Linguistics. It studies the problems of automated generation and understanding of natural human languages. A 'Natural Language' (NL) is any of the languages naturally used by humans. It is not an artificial or man- made language such as a programming language. 'Natural language processing' (NLP) is a convenient description for all attempts to use computers to process natural language. The goal of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) group is to design and build software that will analyze, understand, and generate languages that humans use naturally, so that eventually you will be able to address your computer as though you were addressing another person. The last 50 years of research in the field of Natural Language Processing is that, various kinds of knowledge about the language can be extracted through the help of constructing the formal models or theories. The tools of work in NLP are grammar formalisms, algorithms and data structures, formalism for representing world knowledge, reasoning mechanisms. Many of these have been taken from and inherit results from Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Logic, and Philosophy.

  • Brahminet-ITRANS Transliteration Scheme
    BrahmiNet-ITRANS Transliteration Scheme Anoop Kunchukuttan August 2020 The BrahmiNet-ITRANS notation (Kunchukuttan et al., 2015) provides a scheme for transcription of major Indian scripts in Roman, using ASCII characters. It extends the ITRANS1 transliteration scheme to cover characters not covered in the original scheme. Tables 1a shows the ITRANS mappings for vowels and diacritics (matras). Table 1b shows the ITRANS mappings for consonants. These tables also show the Unicode offset for each character. By Unicode offset, we mean the offset of the character in the Unicode range assigned to the script. For Indic scripts, logically equivalent characters are assigned the same offset in their respective Unicode codepoint ranges. For illustration, we also show the Devanagari characters corresponding to the transliteration. ka kha ga gha ∼Na, N^a ITRANS Unicode Offset Devanagari 15 16 17 18 19 a 05 अ क ख ग घ ङ aa, A 06, 3E आ, ◌ा cha Cha ja jha ∼na, JNa i 07, 3F इ, ि◌ 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E ii, I 08, 40 ई, ◌ी च छ ज झ ञ u 09, 41 उ, ◌ु Ta Tha Da Dha Na uu, U 0A, 42 ऊ, ◌ू 1F 20 21 22 23 RRi, R^i 0B, 43 ऋ, ◌ृ ट ठ ड ढ ण RRI, R^I 60, 44 ॠ, ◌ॄ ta tha da dha na LLi, L^i 0C, 62 ऌ, ◌ॢ 24 25 26 27 28 LLI, L^I 61, 63 ॡ, ◌ॣ त थ द ध न pa pha ba bha ma .e 0E, 46 ऎ, ◌ॆ 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E e 0F, 47 ए, ◌े प फ ब भ म ai 10,48 ऐ, ◌ै ya ra la va, wa .o 12, 4A ऒ, ◌ॊ 2F 30 32 35 o 13, 4B ओ, ◌ो य र ल व au 14, 4C औ, ◌ौ sha Sha sa ha aM 05 02, 02 अं 36 37 38 39 aH 05 03, 03 अः श ष स ह .m 02 ◌ं Ra lda, La zha .h 03 ◌ः 31 33 34 (a) Vowels ऱ ळ ऴ (b) Consonants Version: v1.0 (9 August 2020) NOTES: 1.

To generate the entire set of forms allowed by the Ashtadhyayi without over- or under-generating. 2. To do so while staying true to the spirit of the Ashtadhyayi. Goal 1 is straightforward, but the “under-generating” is subtle. For some inputs, the Ashtadhyayi can yield multiple results; ideally, we should be able to generate all of them. Goal 2 is more vague. I want to create a program that defines and chooses its rules using the same mechanisms used by the Ashtadhyayi.
