Morphological Analysis of the Bishnupriya Manipuri Language using Finite State Transducers
This work addresses the problem of limited language processing tools for speakers and researchers of Bishnupriya Manipuri, an Indo-Aryan language, though it is incremental as it adapts an existing method to a new language.
The researchers tackled the lack of computational resources for the Bishnupriya Manipuri language by applying finite state transducers to perform morphological analysis, resulting in the first computational work for this language.
In this work we present a morphological analysis of Bishnupriya Manipuri language, an Indo-Aryan language spoken in the north eastern India. As of now, there is no computational work available for the language. Finite state morphology is one of the successful approaches applied in a wide variety of languages over the year. Therefore we adapted the finite state approach to analyse morphology of the Bishnupriya Manipuri language.
