Abstract

Words with similar pronunciation may not be of same in its written form. Such similarities can be measured by means of computer algorithms. For English language, an algorithm is available, which may be utilized as a database function “Soundex”. This algorithm returns codes on the base of pronunciation of words. Same code signifies similar pronunciation, and dissimilar code indicates different pronunciation. This paper focuses on development of Soundex for Tai Ahom language. In some cases, a single word carries several different meanings. For such matters, exact meaning may be guessed on the basis of other words in the sentence. For this purpose, we have focused on developing another algorithm backed by sentiment analysis.
