Re: Sanskrit Sandhis - Do we have a tool for this or can we enhance what we have...

[विश्वासो वासुकिजः (Vishvas Vasuki)]

there is sandhi-making code - tdil-dc.in/san/sandhi/sandhi_dit.html , but one would need to contact the authors.

+ chandra. - Can you upload your code to a github repository and publish its location for the benefit of future programmers?

Atmeeya sa~ggaNaka-saMskRuta-bandho,

Namaste. I hope Krupalu is a familar name to you all. If not, I will be most happy to send you my CV.

Many thanks to the two individuals who are on CC here. (I am sorry to have made you BCC for now. There are 30 names in BCC! Once I receive responses from volunteers, I will connect you.) These individuals are brothers who are the force behind my software thinking nowadays. I wanted to share a task onhand with you and see your responses.

We are interested in a good Sandhi-engine for Sanskrit. Chandroos right now holds a piece of Java software which does a good lot (80% or more) for our use. It is apparently developed by Sri Chetan Pandey in Singapore. He asked us to do whatever we liked with it. He can not give us any time, I guess. You too might be familiar with such engines and using them.

I have entered a drama of Shri AbhiRajaRajendraMisra for use by our Theatre group at Hyderabad. I have entered this with 'hyphens' within samasa-words and without sandhis thinking it to be less demanding that way. Attached is a TXT file for the same. (Generally I now did not hyphenate within a 'samasa' if there is an ach-sandhi, like savarNa- or guNa-sandhi. I have done this for the first sentence only as a test case for our tool for now).

I have attached another DOC file giving some free-format specification for the task on hand. You don't have to be a Pandit to understand that this is what Shri Misra wrote in 1980s, which is still the standard version.

If you have any suggestions or questions, kindly write to us Even if you don't have time to contribute right now and want to follow what we are doing, please do write to us. Bouquets or brickbats, please write. You can also 'exit' this group, if you are not interested in these things for the time being.

If you want to look at the Java-code, please write to Chandroos.

Thanks and regards,

Krupalu

I guess Dhaval's code we'll see sooner than Chandra's.
