  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Graphical Law Beneath Each Written Natural Language
    Graphical law beneath each written natural language Anindya Kumar Biswas, Department of Physics; North-Eastern Hill University, Mawkynroh-Umshing, Shillong-793022. email:[email protected] January 22, 2020 Abstract We study twenty four written natural languages. We draw in the log scale, number of words starting with a letter vs rank of the letter, both normalised. We find that all the graphs are of the similar type. The graphs are tantalisingly closer to the curves of reduced magnetisation vs reduced temperature for magnetic materials. We make a weak conjecture that a curve of magnetisation underlies a written natural language. I Introduction Our world is alive with languages. Some are spoken by many. Some are spoken by few. English is a language known to large part of the world. Languages are there yet to be discovered. Like English there are languages which use written scripts. Many others exist in spoken form. A subset of languages of the world use alphabets. A subsub- set have dictionaries. Official language in most part of the world is English. Dictionaries from English to a natural language is of common availability. A Dictionary is where words beginning with letters of an alphabet are recorded in their relative abundances. Few letters are heavily used. Few are scantily done so. Number of letters in an alphabet varies from a language to another language. Linguistics about Zipf’s law and its variants has been a subject of interesting arXiv:1307.6235v5 [physics.gen-ph] 21 Jan 2020 intense computational physics study for quite some time [1]. Moreover, Drod etal, [2], have observed trace of scaling in verbs, in English and Polish languages respectively.

    ORIENTAL JOURNAL OF ISSN: 0974-6471 COMPUTER SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY June 2017, An International Open Free Access, Peer Reviewed Research Journal Vol. 10, No. (2): Published By: Oriental Scientific Publishing Co., India. Pgs. 429-437 www.computerscijournal.org A Review on Electronic Dictionary and Machine Translation System Developed in North-East India SAIFUL ISLAM* and BIPUL SYAM PURKAYASTHA Department of Computer Science, Assam University, Silchar, PIN-788011, Assam, India Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.13005/ojcst/10.02.25 (Received: May 04, 2017; Accepted: May 12, 2017) ABSTRACT Electronic Dictionary and Machine Translation system are both the most important language learning tools to achieve the knowledge about the known and unknown natural languages. The natural languages are the most important aspect in human life for communication. Therefore, these two tools are very important and frequently used in human daily life. The Electronic Dictionary (E-dictionary) and Machine Translation (MT) systems are specially very helpful for students, research scholars, teachers, travellers and businessman. The E-dictionary and MT are very important applications and research tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP). The demand of research task in E-dictionary and MT system are growing in the world as well as in India. North-East (NE) is a very popular and multilingual region of India. Even then, a small number of E-dictionary and MT system have been developed for NE languages. Through this paper, we want to elaborate about the importance, approaches and features of E-dictionary and MT system. This paper also tries to review about the existing E-dictionary and MT system which are developed for NE languages in NE India.

  • History of the Scientific Study of the Tibeto-Burman Languages of North-East India
    Indian Journal of History of Science, 52.4 (2017) 420-444 DOI: 10.16943/ijhs/2017/v52i4/49265 History of the Scientific Study of the Tibeto-Burman Languages of North-East India Satarupa Dattamajumdar* (Received 25 April 2017; revised 19 October 2017) Abstract Linguistics or in other words the scientific study of languages in India is a traditional exercise which is about three thousand years old and occupied a central position of the scientific tradition from the very beginning. The tradition of the scientific study of the languages of the Indo-Aryan language family which are mainly spoken in India’s North and North-Western part was brought to light with the emergence of the genealogical study of languages by Sir William Jones in the 18th c. But the linguistic study of the Tibeto-Burman languages spoken in North-Eastern part of India is of a much later origin. According to the 2011 census there are 45486784 people inhabiting in the states of North-East India. They are essentially the speakers of the Tibeto-Burman group of languages along with the Austro-Asiatic and Indo-Aryan groups of languages. Though 1% of the total population of India is the speaker of the Tibeto-Burman group of languages (2001 census) the study of the language and society of this group of people has become essential from the point of view of the socio-political development of the country. But a composite historical account of the scientific enquiries of the Tibeto-Burman group of languages, a prerequisite criterion for the development of the region is yet to be attempted.
