Abstract

India is the home to a very large number of languages. The Indian languages are rich in literature and has been studied by native and foreign Linguists. Unlike English, Indian languages are Morphologically rich and follows free word-order. Even though there have been efforts towards building morphological analyser for Malayalam and Sanskrit, until now an efficient one is not available. In order to solve this problem we come up with the study on morphological analyzer in Indian languages. Morphological analyser is a linguistic tool that would generate the morphemes of a given word. These rules are based on Indian language linguistics. This paper gives a brief description of the approach used for morphological analyser. With the development of a Python Package that make use of Rule Based Approach for developing Morphological Analyzer. It mainly focusing on noun and this analyzer can be used for Information Retrieval, search engines, Machine Translation, speech recognizer, Text Processing etc.
