Sanskrit as a Programming Language and Natural Language Processing

In this paper represents the work toward developing a dependency parser for Sanskrit language and also represents the efforts in developing a NLU(Natural Language Understanding) and NLP(Natural Language Processing) systems. Here, we use ashtadhayayi (a book of Sanskrit grammar) to implement this idea. We use this concept because the Sanskrit is an unambiguous language. In this paper, we are presenting our work towards building a dependency parser for Sanskrit language that uses deterministic finite automata(DFA) for morphological analysis and 'utsarga apavaada' approach for relation analysis. The importance of astadhayayi is it provide a grammatical framework which is general enough to analyze other language as well therefore it is uses for language analysis.
