MIZO-FYING THE INTERNET

If you have used the internet , not only facebook or other social networks, I hope you have used or heard of the word "Google Translate" ! Google Translate is a online tool/service which is used to translate one language to another language! Other such services are also available like Babelfish.com  and many more. The most efficient and most accurate one will be what we call Google Translate which, currently, have about 90 different languages!


Through this Machine Translation  system , I personally believed that, we can make the world again as it used to be during the time of Babel !  We can make the world a more open place and a real global village. As we know, social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and many more, they make a more open place for connectivity all over the world. But, the medium of conversation i.e. the language is still different. Although we have English as the International language , not everyone can speak or understand English! 

We all wanted to save our own language from extinction, especially the Mizo's. I am currently working on this topic of "Nature Language Processing in Mizo" under the guidance of Dr. Partha Pakray  and Mr. Gautam Majumder. I am very excited and very grateful that they give an interest in Mizo language processing which is a tough thing for them as they have a very little knowledge about Mizo. I praised them for taking steps on such thing while no Mizo people haven't work yet!
This is a very big challenge for me and I am giving my best effort on it!

Creating a translation system for Mizo language, specially for the Internet (which I call Mizo-fying the Internet) have always been on my mind since my childhood days! Now, I got the chance!!
But, I do not have a deep knowledge of the Mizo language and also that a very good knowledge of English is also very much required at which I am very poor!

Mizo tawng hi tun dinhmun ah chuan a boral hlauhawm chu a ni hauh lo, chu mi tichiang tur chuan tawng dang nen a leh tawn zung zung theihna hi kan neih ve ngei hi ka duh em em a ni. Tunlai khawvel changkan zelna ah hian kan hnam nunphung leh ziarang hrang hrang te, kan tawng te hi khawvel mit hmuh a kan pholan ve a, kan Mizo khawvel hi kan tih zauh zel hi ka duh tak meuh meuh a ni. 

This is an ongoing project and I will try to give a short report on what we have done here on my blog. If anyone is interested, you can contact our Leader Dr. Partha Pakray , Head of Department , Dept. of Computer Science & Engg., NIT Mizoram .

We would very much appreciate Mizo Lecturers or Teachers who have a deep knowledge in Mizo language.
Come on. Let's Mizo-fy the Internet!
