Number of syllables is is not the number of characters excluding vowels. For example மக்கள் has only 3 syllables not 4. ம, க்க , ள் ஆண்டவரின் has ஆ,ண்ட,வ,ரி,ன் and Syllable is a pronunciation unit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllable see syllabalize_ta method in https://github.com/santhoshtr/silpa/blob/master/src/silpa/modules/syllabalizer/syllabalizer.py Or see online tool for this at http://silpa.smc.org.in/Syllabalize Thanks Santhosh _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
