However, I am gladdened because Sanskrita Bharati is teaching a new method to learn the language-- a spoken language, fit and functional for daily use. They offer classes all over the world, long weekend getaways and books too. So dear readers, DO learn sanskrit and unlock the key to other indian languages and people.

Welcome to the Sanskrit Heritage site.It provides various services for the computational treatment of Sanskrit.The first service is dictionary access. The dictionary is a hypertext structuregiving access to the Sanskrit lexicon, given with grammatical information.There are currently two versions of the dictionary.

The first one is the original Heritage Sanskrit-French dictionary, thatserves as morphology generator, and is thus fully equipped with grammaticaltools. Furthermore it offers a rich encyclopedic contents about Indian culture.You may also download a printable pdf version of this dictionary, asexplained below. A fully hypertext version in theGoldendict format is also available.The second lexicon is a digital version of the Monier-Williams Sanskrit-Englishdictionary, a much more complete lexicon for the Sanskrit language.It is issued from Thomas Malten's digitalization of the Monier-Williamsat Kln University, turned into an XML databank by Jim Funderburk,and finally adapted to the HTML Heritage look and feel by Pawan Goyal.The Sanskrit Heritage dictionary is thus mirrored in the Monier-Williams, whichallows compatibility of the grammatical tools.The choice of the dictionary is set to Heritage by default by accessingthe standard entry page "sanskrit.inria.fr", but is set to Monier-Williamsif you rather invoke " "Each dictionary is accessible separately by its search page,respectively Sanskrit Heritage andMonier-Williams.

This site offers a number of linguistic services for the Sanskrit language, suchas a Sanskrit Reader that parses Sanskrittext under various formats into Sanskrit banks of tagged hypertext.Various phonological and morphological tools are also provided.

An elementary Sanskrit course for beginners, using the site resources,may be found in its French version ici and in its English version here.It allows you to read and understand a simple text, extracted from theVikramacarita story. An updated version of the English lesson is available here.

A more extensive course on using Hypertext Sanskrit Tools, developed jointlywith the Sanskrit Studies Department of the University of Hyderabad,was taught remotely in Spring 2024. Its video contents may be accessed here.

Your browser must be HTML5 compliant, and for proper viewingof Sanskrit text you must have installed on your system open type fontsfor roman transliteration with diacritics, and for devanāgarī.A Unicode-compliant font for devanāgarī with proper ligaturesis Apple's Devanagari MT for Macintosh OS X stations. For Windows users,installation of font 'Arial MS Unicode' is advised for proper rendering.

You may have to fiddle with the controls of your browser, so that the fontdeclarations from the dictionary pages get precedence over the standardselection, and thus encoding is specified as Unicode compliant (UTF-8 encoding).

Note that many words are given with their etymology as hypertext links. Youmay thus navigate from a word to its morphological components, down to its roots.Also, the gender declarations ofthe main entries are mouse-sensitive, and give you direct access to therelevant declension table. Similarly, the present class mark of the verbal rootsgives access to the conjugation schemes. Also for verb entries, preverbslead you to the correspondingly prefixed derived verbs.

All these grammatical tools, originally developed for the Heritage dictionary,are being progressiveley extended to the Monier-Williams dictionary.Thus our HTML Monier-Williams offers similar declension and conjugationfacilities.

If you want to search for a Sanskrit wordwithout knowing its exact transliteration, go to section "Sanskrit made easy"of the index page, which allows you to search for words without knowingprecise diacritics usage.For instance, search Vishnou, Siva, or the grammarian Panini. Thisinterface is limited for the moment to the Sanskrit Heritage dictionary.

This interface gives the declension tables for Sanskrit substantives.Try out thisdeclension engine by submitting Sanskrit stemswith intended gender. The same transliteration conventions as for thedictionary index apply. For instance, submit "deva" with gender Mas,or (assuming Velthuis transliteration) "devii" with gender Fem,or "brahman" with gender Neu. The fourthbutton, labeled "Any", may be used for the words which take theirgender from the context, such as deictic personal pronouns ("aham", "tvad"),or numeral words such as "dva", "tri", etc.

A word of caution is called for here. The only safe way to get correctinflected forms is to enter the stem and its morphological parametersconsistently with their specification in the Heritage dictionary. This isspecially true of roots, since they appear with various names according toSanskrit grammars. For instance, root hū is called hū,hvā or hve according to various grammarians. Another problemis homophony. When two items have the same phonetic realization, theirrespective lexemes are disambiguatedby an integer index, which is specific to the lexicon. Thus there arethree roots named mā in the Sanskrit Heritage dictionary. They areadressed respectively (in Velthuis transliteration) as maa#1, maa#3 and maa#4.If you ask for the conjugated forms of maa in present classes 2 or 3, thesystem will guess you mean maa#1 (to measure). But if you mean maa#3(to mow) or maa#4 (to exchange) you have to enter explicitly their disambiguatedstems maa#3 or maa#4. Entering an arbitrary stem and arbitrary morphologyparameters may yield random results or error messages.

Conversely, alemmatiserattempts to tag inflected words.Try for instance (in Velthuis format)"devaat", "jagmivaan", "a.s.tau" (selecting Noun)or "apibat", "akaar.siit", "dudoha", "vaahyate" (selecting Verb).This lemmatizer knows about inflected forms of derived stems in somesecondary derivations.For instance, "darzayi.syati" is found as conjugated form: ca. fut. ac. sg. 3 [dṛś_1],"dariid.rzyate" yields int. pr. md. sg. 3 [dṛś_1],"did.rk.sate" yields des. pr. md. sg. 3 [dṛś_1]and "bibhik.se" yields des. pft. md. sg. 1 [bhaj].Please note the multitag notation of this ambiguous form.

The various grammatical abbreviations used in these lemmas are availablehere.N.B. Do not attempt to lemmatize verbal forms with preverbs - this willnot work, it knows only how to invert root forms. Lemmatizingmore complex forms is possible through the Sanskrit Reader interface,as explained in the manual. Morphology A dictionary of inflected forms of Sanskrit words is providedin XML form under various transliteration schemes.Please visit the Sanskrit linguistic resources page. Sanskrit Reader The main tool provided by this site is aSanskrit Reader that allows machine-assistedanalysis of Sanskrit sentences, that is segmentation(including sandhi viccheda), morphological tagging, and several parsers.Please consult the Reference manual for learning howto use these tools.

Many options are provided in the menu of the Reader page. For instance,clicking on the Unsandhied button we may present text inpadapāṭha form, where each chunk is in terminal sandhi form.For instance "tryambakam yajaamahe sugandhim pu.s.tivardhanam".

Two strengths of the Reader are provided. The Simplified mode, offered as adefault, does not recognize vocatives. The Complete mode is more powerful,using the full range of participles of verbs, privative compounds, etc.It may however return so many solutions that listing all solutions isimpractical, and other facilities must be used.

The grammar used to recognize sentences is explainedas a local automaton state transition graphLexer automaton.This is actually a simplification of the segmenter automaton control.A simpler one, close to the Simplified mode of the reader, isSimplified automaton.A fuller one, close to the Complete mode of the reader, isComplete automaton.The color codes of these diagrams explain the output conventions of the tags.

In these diagrams, transparent nodes are non generative, and colored nodescorrespond to the lexical categories recognized by the lemmatizer. Thecategory Auxi is the subset of Verb consisting of conjugated forms ofroots "k.r", "as" and "bhuu" used as auxiliaries in periphrastic constructions.Pv denotes sequences of preverbs.

It is naive, but may be of use for beginners. For instance, try"dvaadazabhirvar.sairvyaakara.na.mzruuyate", checking the "Parsing" button.It returns a unique solution among the 8 possible segmentations.

Another dependency parser is under development at University of Hyderabad;it may be accessed from the Heritage segmenter, seen as a plugin.More documentation on these facilities are described in theReference manual. Sanskrit Tagger The semantic analysis may be still ambiguous, since a given segment may bedecorated by several morphological categories. All interpretations arepresented under the role matrix, sorted by increasing penalty. Check foryour favorite interpretation in this list, and select it by clicking on itsgreen heart symbol. The system will return the corresponding unambiguouslytagged sentence, as a page which you may save on your own station. Iteratingthis process allows you to progressively tag a Sanskrit text with the Sanskritreader assistance.

Alternatively, you may select the ambiguous morphology choices, each beingprovided with a selection button. Selections are chosen by default at thefirst choice, but you may override this default and choose manually e.g.the genders of nominals. When your choice is finalized, just click on the"Submit" button and you will get the corresponding deterministically taggedsentence. This tool is useful for semi-manual corpus annotation.
