Hi,
 sorry for not replying earlier,
 was out of town and not checking my mail. I think you should definitley 
involve people at IIIT hyderabad. They are doing a lot of work on all 
kinds of indic-language related projects. The e-mail of Dr. Rajiv Sangal 
is:

<sa...@ii...>

some other people who are working in LTRC in IIIT worth getting in touch 
with are :

Linguistics: Dr. Dipti Mishra Sharma  <di...@ii...>  
Computer Science: Dr. Vineet Chaitanya <vc...@ii...>
 and for speech technologies: Prahallad Kishore <ki...@ii...>


JNU and Delhi University have some people in Linguistics dept. who might 
be interested.

One person you could contact in DU is Dr. Tanmoy Bhattacharya. I don't 
have his official e-mail id but his yahoo one is : 
<bha...@ya...>

And in JNU, you could contact Dr. Anvita Abbi  <an...@jn...>
and Dr. Ayesha Kidwai <ay...@jn...>

 We could also post on the linguistlist for others around the world who 
might be interested:

tnx,
Kalika
