Show HN: Algorithm to Predict Romance/Indian Languages from Latin/Sanskrit
This is a website that converts Latin/Sanskrit to modern Romance/Indian languages. The catch is, rather than a translation, it is purely based on deterministic phonological algorithms. Since linguists have determined fairly regular rules for these transformations, I thought why not code these rules into a computer?
While the result isn't perfect, it often works pretty well, and the cases where it fails sometimes give some insight into why a language evolved the way that it did.
- evnix 2y agoSome Languages like konkani are more closer to rig vedic in respect to both features and words, and have very little classical Sanskrit as borrowed vocabulary. https://theswissbay.ch/pdf/Books/Linguistics/Mega%20linguistics%20pack/Indo-European/Indo-Aryan/Konkani%20Grammar%2C%20A%20Higher%20(Janardhan).pdf https://theswissbay.ch/pdf/Books/Linguistics/Mega%20linguist...
