Abstract
Splitting of compound Telugu words into its components or root words is one of the important, tedious and yet inaccurate tasks of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Except in few special cases, at least one vowel is necessarily involved in Telugu conjunctions. In the result, vowels are often repeated as they are or are converted into other vowels or consonants. This paper describes issues involved in vowel based splitting of a Telugu bigram into proper root words using Telugu grammar conjunction (‘sandhi’) rules for MT.
Highlights
Sanskrit is considered as the mother language for almost all Indian languages, since a majority of the Indian languages are based on grammar rules similar to that of Sanskrit grammar [6]
Most of the Telugu language is affected by Urdu in ‘telaMgANa’ territory. ‘tarfIdu, aafIsu, pennu, pEparu, kaburlu, bassu’, etc. are words from those languages adapted in Telugu [4]
According to ‘pANini’ Sanskrit grammar, vowels and their forms are given as in TABLE I [2]
Summary
Sanskrit is considered as the mother language for almost all Indian languages, since a majority of the Indian languages are based on grammar rules similar to that of Sanskrit grammar [6]. It can be tokenized as ‘viSva’ + ‘amitraH’ according to ‘savarNadIrga sandhi’, which is not to be applied here because it gives opposite meaning i.e., enemy of the universe. For this kind of special cases, Sanskrit gives exemptions strictly. Are words from those languages adapted in Telugu [4] Such words, their conjunctions and their corrupted / colloquial forms are almost understandable by local humans but not by non-locals. For example ‘nI jimmaDa’ is the word very frequently used by the natives of eastern Andhra It means ‘let your tongue fall’ (literally ‘jimma’ is the colloquial form of ‘jihva’ – Sanskrit word for tongue, ‘aDa’ is the corrupted form of ‘paDu’ – a Telugu word)
