Design and implementation of a morphology-based spellchecker for Marathi, an Indian language

Abstract

Morphological analysis is a core component of Technology for Indian languages. Complexities involved in spellchecking of documents in Marathi, an Indian language are described. Issues for both orthography and morphology are discussed. We have applied morphological analysis to a large number of words of different parts of speech. A spellchecker based on this analysis has been developed. The architecture of the spellchecker and the spellchecking algorithm based on morphological rules are outlined.
