Deeptanshu Jha, Rashmi Jha, Varun Varshney · 2014
Sanskrit considered being the mother of all languages possesses a rich grammar which was penned by Panini around 2500 years ago. The dual case is a unique and beautiful feature of Sanskrit which is not present in any other language other than Sanskrit. The importance of dual case is ignored in almost all the languages which lead to confusion while processing dual and plural but this ambiguity is also removed in the highly efficient and organized Sanskrit grammar. This research paper focuses on this Indian treasure and suggests its use for to-day's computer applications. It explores diverse key characteristics of NLP, various problems encountered in NLP are and how Sanskrit successfully overcomes these limitations and fulfills all the requirements of a Natural Language Processor.
