Silpa has a transliteration tool. http://silpa.org.in/Transliterate

It provides and a webserice api http://silpa.org.in/doc/apis.html so a
command line wrapper can be written. Or possibly we can get this as a
separate module from silpa if you ask the developers.

The advantage here is, it supports many languages and it is well maintained.

It has some options like ISO 15919:2001 (hāl kyā hai dilōṁ kā nā pūchō
sanam) and IPA

Attached Perl program will convert Devnagari to phonetic Hindi, similar 
to ITRANS.  Would appreciate if whoever uses it sends feedback so I can 
improve it.

Incidentally, can someone check why the f in farsi at:

https://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%80

isn't the standard 0x092B + 0x093C (फ़)?  I don't know if I've got the 
characters right, but there's some fsckup in translating the f's there.  
Comment out lines 277 through 285 of the code and run that page to see 
what happens.

You could use a transliteration scheme

But would need more than mapping based method, something like using
soundex to get it more accurate conversion.

[Indlinux-group] Unicode Devnagari transliterate to Roman ASCII

[Raj M. ( र. म. ) <ra...@li...>]

Hi,

The Kruti converter is working fine for now, will release it after a 
couple more fixes.  But now that I have the Unicode Devnagari, any tool 
(command-line, please!) to transliterate to Roman?  E.g.

हाल क्या है दिलों का ना पूछो सनम -> Haal kyaa hai dilon kaa naa poochho sanam

Or do I have to write that too? ;-)

Great, I'll use that as a fallback in case the JS converter conversion 
to Perl doesn't work (properly).  The unigateway script seems to be 
doing a more complex conversion to something called "Padma", involving 
multiple classes and $deity knows what else.  Will take time to parse 
and understand!

Of the two evils (JS and PHP), I guess JS is the lesser :)

Ah, http://shantiniketanvidyapeeth.com/News/UniKrutidev+Converter.htm 
has the complete encoder/decoder in JS.  No copyright or licence, so I'm 
going to assume it's public domain and adapt into a GPL Perl script.

Seems to be straight translation with some exceptions handled through 
code.

Thanks for the info about Krutidev010.  I need to do bulk conversion of

this.  Well, even an algorithm is fine -- I can create a tool around it.

The data is in most popular old 8bit font - Krutidev010 Hindi.
It can be converted to unicode through converters like this -

सवजी पिता जौदा मीणा, लक्ष्‍मण पिता जौदा मीणा, धन्‍ना पिता वक्‍सी मीणा,

निवासी - दामातालाब


Then Unicode Hindi can easily be converted to Phonetic-Roman.


You can find one such converter (Krutidev>Unicode) online here:

On digging further, I find that the data is viewable when the following 
fonts are installed on a Winduhs computer:

Devanagari MT Bold
Devanagari MT
Devanagari Sangam MN
Devanagari Sangam MN Bold
DevLys 010
Kruti Dev 010
Krishna Bold Italic
Krishna Condensed
Krishna Wide
Krishna Bold
Krishna Italic
Krishna
Krishna Thin
Krishna
Kruti Dev 010
Shusha02
Shusha05
Shusha

Now I don't know exactly which of these fonts is used to render the 
text, whether these fonts are Unicode or not, and whether I can use them 
in Linux.  The objective is to get them into Unicode, and eventually 
transliterate into Roman.  Any help appreciated.

Hi,

contains what is purported to be Devnagari, but in some weird encoding.  
Sample:

> fuoklh & nkekrkykc

Any idea what this is, and whether I can (a) convert to Unicode and (b) 
transliterate to Roman character set?

[Indlinux-group] GNU FreeFont update

[Steve W. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi,

The information on your Wiki page about Indic fonts
   http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/IndicFontsList#Font_collections
needs to be updated regarding GNU FreeFont.

First, the name of the font collection is
    GNU FreeFont
The link given is outdated.  The current one is
    http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/

The font family has changed greatly (for the better) since your table
was compiled.
Find attached a more up-to-date HTML table showing the glyph sources
for the Indic ranges in GNU FreeFont.

Feedback is welcome at
   https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/
Further information on support of character ranges is at
   http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/coverage.html

Cheers!

I do not find a base upon which, I could expect people there to have a

I am aware some other people (in Tamil computing) have sought help 
upstream & aren't progressing that much satisfactorily.

I decided to rest on my skills at last.

I would certainly like to take technical know-how from hunspell as to 
how it is done & how other application communicate to it for doing the

How about you opinion on Hunspell handling grammar check for Hindi or 
Telugu?

I feel that to be a good approach than this.

all my attempts motivating people from computer science education 
background proved little successful for me, so unfortunately I am doing 
coding these days will try to do it for Tamil in course of time.;-)

As such what we have been using till now is merely word list with

Well, I too contributed to that list. But seldom words exist like that 
in reality. I am aware of the rules for affixes-suffixes to the words.

What I plan to have is a word list that is classified primarily into 
nouns & verbs. I feel that will help taking much closer to the requirement.

Spell checking is beyond correct word correction.

gender wise sentence construction, how sentences vary with salutations 
like mein, thoo, aap etc.,

can hunspell actually take us to these levels?

May I be out of thinking line, but doing such projects (e.g. spell checking) 
by own language experts is better because of the intricacies of word 
formations from language letters which could be peculiarity of a language that 
(depth of which) a novice or a newborn in the language may not be able to 
quickly fathom..

Do you have any README or information about your project in English
somewhere? :)

 The last updated Tamil hunspell tarball you gave to me contains
112425 words. Do you find those words are not good or need
proofreading?

Parag.

[ஆமாச்சு <am...@ya...>]

earlier this month I had exchange of opinion over hunspell fitting for 
Tamil languages' spell checking. I am of the opinion to have a spell 
checker designed & developed keeping Tamil in mind than to bend Tamil 
for Hunspell.

I would like to know how good it has progressed with other languages of 
India pros & cons. I started a project sorkandu - to gather categorised 
(tagged) Tamil word list for this as a first step.
