Parts of speech (POS) tagging is the process of assigning the part of speech tag to each and every word in a sentence.In this paper, we have presented POS tagger for Kannada, a low resource south Asian language, using Condition Random Fields.POS tagger developed in the work uses novel features native to Kannada language.The novel features include Sandhi splitting, where a compound word is broken down into two or more meaningful constituent words.The proposed model is trained and tested on the tagged dataset which contains 21 thousand sentences and achieves a highest accuracy of 94.56%.
